I am finally returning to my “normal” Toulouse life. I did my usual Tuesday activities – go out for a walk, lunch out, run with Run in Toulouse in the evening and light dinner at home in the evening. When I got up in the morning, it was raining. We seem to be in a… Read More Back to normal Toulouse life
For most of the day I rested and caught up on rest and recovered from the on the go week with Jesse and Jen. It was a great week but we were on the go all the time. I needed a at home relaxing day. After returning to my normal routines, breakfast and lunch at… Read More An unexpected and fun day
This morning, Jesse and Jen, headed back to the U.S. We got up fairly early so they could make it to the airport and catch their plane.

The plan was to visit the Parc Guell which is a Antoni Gaudi designed park. Gaudi is most famous for the Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona.

The laundry always throws me off as it takes much longer than in the U.S. For me, it does not really… Read More Good Day
Sunday always seems to be a busy day. I did my usual “faire les courses” (shopping). I went to the open air market at St. Aubin’s for fruits, vegetables, cheese and olives. I, then, went to the Marchè Victor Hugo and bought protein for dinner. I had a confusing (my fault) exchange when buying lamb… Read More Busy Sunday
I went to Le Panache as usual on Friday nights. It was packed and that is really good for Enzo’s business but Enzo and Erwin were working like crazy.
