... sunshine, and 'who cares attitute' into the place (not literally mind- im not mother teresa), and i think towards the end, when id overcome a bit of the language barrier, i saw a little light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
I'm kidding of course, i am not claiming by any stretch, to be a messiah sent from above, and nor do i dislike france or the french(ive got good french friends) but sometimes after a little too much cheese and wine, it can start to go moldy very quicky.
... discovered girls share universal qualities and passtimes. I played the game with them but had to have someone translate everything for me because they spoke only french and used lots of slang. It was fun though.
The next day I met up with Matthieu the french guy and we walked up into the mountains. The walk up had two paths one flat and steep the other with stairs both required a lot of energy, which I realized I had not much of. Either way each level provided ...
Visiter quelques musées gratuit, (à cause du festival ''printemps à Toulouse'') c'est toujours rentable !
Nous avons fait le musée des augustins. Il y a plein de statues et de vieilles pieces murales des églises de Toulouse.
Ensuite la Basilique St-Sernin, très jolie puisque son cloché est illuminé le soir.
Et finalement les Abattoirs, avec un tat d'art dont du ne comprend jamais vraiment la signification (l'art modern...).
... t wait to be on the road again….). At about 5 pm or so, both of us were getting stir crazy from being stuck in the car. I was bored. I would have liked to drive, but we only registered Conrad for the car. I tried to work on a puzzle book, but after about 45 minutes of this, I began to get car sick. I just can’t read in the car anymore.
We finally arrived in Toulouse around 5:30 or so. Conrad called Claude and he came to meet us ...
Left the beauty and quiet of the canal for the hectic noise of Tolouse. Entering in, we came with the canal along the train tracks. I was amazed at the creativity of the graffiti everywhere. Not just tagging, but artistic pictures. I always wanted to include graffiti in some of my art classes, but wasn’t sure about parental reactions.
Also saw several clusters of ...
... it. Hardly any ecluses (locks) in comparison to the Nantes a Brest. This canal even defies gravity. Heading itself into river valleys this canal shoots straight over tops without a flinch. What a strange site for those on the river below to see a boat sailing far overhead. Water over water.
This is another beautiful canal lined with giant maples instead of oaks (like in the North). Maples I have never seen ...
Arrived Toulouse Sunday afternoon after 2.5 hour departure delay from D/FW. London Heathrow is unreal; avoid it if at all possible. I´m quite certain I walked at least a mile from departing one plance to connect with the next one, there were numerous checkpoints at which documents were checked (each with a LONG line waiting),and there were elbow to elbow people. Seems most of the employees are Indian or Pakistani. I walked through customs in Toulouse and no one required me to stop ...
Toulouse, Midi-Pyrénées, France jimonthego... with the clerks in each of the stores. At night we would also see the city all lit up. We enjoyed taking Bob and Megan to the river and showing them the lit up bridges and the nightlife of the city. After seeing our friends from home Brian and I are starting to realize we are a little homesick and excited to come home to see our family and friends.
Toulouse, Midi-Pyrénées, France naslund13... come and go as I please while she is at work. We head back to the flat for some lunch, she has been so generous making breakfast, lunch, dinners and plenty of tea with exquisit dark chocolate. She makes a quiche for lunch with some salad and we have a glass of wine with dinner; how very french! We go out in the afternoon for another walk Nathalie decides to show me some of the less travelled ...
Toulouse, France penny.hope... site guy confusing himself into undercharging us. The camp site had a high fence all around, with a key-code security door. All very posh. But, we realised, they had obviously spent their hygiene budget on security. The toilet facilities were such that if you had a shower, you were in real danger of coming out more dirty than you were to begin with. With this in mind, when got away without paying for three of the five nights, we felt kind of validated.
