When I was leaving Toulouse last fall, the Aeroport bus went by what looked like an outdoor farmers market. I have never seen the market before that day. Last week, I had intended to go and search for the market. I got involved in other things and did not look for the market. Today, I… Read More Exploring and widening boundaries
Since I only brought a limited amount of clothes, I have to do laundry every Monday which is not a hardship. Since the washing machine is small, it actually makes a great deal of sense to do laundry once a week. Also, since there is no dryer and everything has to air dry, I have… Read More Monday’s are life maintenance days, plus some fun
I have always hated to be routine and fall into a pattern but Sundays definitely have become both of those. St. Aubin’s farmers market is Sunday morning and closes at 12:30 pm so I have to go earlier in the morning since I go to Church at 12:00 pm. I love the market as it… Read More Sundays are always busy
I decided that I would enjoy the day in Toulouse by doing the things I really enjoy while here. I got up and walked down to the local cafe to have breakfast. I learned one lesson in this as I went at 10:00 am and on Saturday all the chocolate croissants are gone by that… Read More Birthday in Toulouse
I am going to a concert on Friday night at the Halle aux grain Friday night and needed to figure out how long it takes to walk from the apartment from the apartment to the concert hall. I looked the concert hall on Google maps and it gave the directions but I do not have… Read More Making progress
When I was in Toulouse in the autumn, I would do my long runs on the Canal du Midi. It was a great place for long runs as it has a long distance to run, it is flat, there is nice scenery to view and things to see. Once you get out of the main… Read More Another day of exploring based on where I am living now
I am back to the old routines from when I was in Toulouse in the fall. I got up this morning and had breakfast. I tend to get up later in Toulouse as the sun rises a little later. Also, the Airbnb has shutters on the windows and only shears for curtains. I close the… Read More Back to my old routines
It amazes me as many times as I wander the city, I always find something new to see and explore. Today, I did not have any required activities so I decided to explore the neighborhood that I am now staying. It is further from and much close to the river. I wandered down one of… Read More Always finding something new
My Sunday’s in Toulouse are always somewhat hectic. I have two standard activities that I want to do, go to the St. Aubin’s farmers’ market and church. Since both are only available in the earlier part of the day it makes it somewhat hectic. The farmer’s market is open until 12:30 pm and church is… Read More Sunday’s are always interesting
When I woke up it was overcast outside but after having breakfast, it started to get sunny. I decided to go amble around the city, which is one of my standard and favorite activities. The city had really come to life after the very windy days that proceeded Saturday. There were lots of people out… Read More Beautiful Saturday
