... He offered to take me to the mountains hiking the next day. So I arranged to meet him.<br><br>That night I joined Tiphaine and her roommate at a "girls party" for all the girls in their school since there arent so many. It was very interesting to see how similar these girls were to me and my friends. They drank lots of wine, ate good food and chatted about boys. They also played a drinking game that is the french version of Never Have I Ever. So even in other countries ...

Visiter quelques musées gratuit, (à cause du festival ''printemps à Toulouse'') c'est toujours rentable !<br><br>Nous avons fait le musée des augustins. Il y a plein de statues et de vieilles pieces murales des églises de Toulouse.<br><br>Ensuite la Basilique St-Sernin, très jolie puisque son cloché est illuminé le soir.<br><br>Et finalement les Abattoirs, avec un tat d'art dont du ne comprend jamais vraiment la signification (l'art modern...).<br>

... that we could follow him home. They live on an old farm where he has worked on renovating the farm house for the last 15 years. There property is perfect. It&#8217;s about 2+ acres and it&#8217;s surrounded by farmland. No neighbors nearby. It&#8217;s wonderful. We would like something similar, maybe a bit more land. Conrad &amp; Claude caught up. They haven&#8217;t seen each other in 30+ years. It was interesting watching them reminisce. We got ...

... blocked our way, and the river route was under construction: route barrier, interdit au public. We tried several times to navigate away and catch it further along in hopes that the construction would be over, but with no luck. <br><br>Up into the land of the automobile with cars whizzing by us. KFC&#8217;s and McDonald&#8217;s made me forget where I was. Weaving our way along ...

... traveling. After a quick stop at a McDonalds to check internet it was starting to get late. <br><br>I was working on trusting and not worrying, but as the miles continue it becomes more and more difficult. Getting to be 6pm. Brian got anxious since we had already cycled 100km and didn&#8217;t know where we were going to stop. No signs have shown themselves along the canal, and we were starting to wonder if this would be ...

... hours of the sun sitting at a park. At home greg prepared a dinner of meats and cheeses and we were off to the bar for happy hour which started at 9. His friend drove us to the bar, and parking always seems to be a task in france. The bar was so crowded, packed with people shoulder to shoulder! some more friends met us out and we had three or four bottles of wine.

... mushrooms and a small baked potato. Sitting watching the people passing. There was a police van parked on the corner with some policemen watching. People kept coming up talking to them or asking directions. I have found a very strong presents of police in the community. Always greeting people and shaking hands with them. We finished off with a nice strong coffee and a piece of dark chocolate. It was then time for a little walk. We found a lovely street, full of nice shops every ...

... with me and head outside. I walk across the street and cannot find an internet café or anything that resembles one while constantly saying Excuse-moi and Bonjour to almost everyone who passes. I head down another street that is lined with Sex Shops, classy I know but I spy a familiar picture which I hope is an internet café. Its funny my mother made jokes about Bordeaux before I left and here I am in the seedy part of town. It ...

... euro; to get the audioguides which not only gave us further information about exhibits etc. but also acted as English narration in the ride and planetarium show. This facility was worth the money, and is definately a must in Toulouse, it was educational, fun and interesting, taking in aspects of the future, life in space, the galaxy, universe, history of the solar system etc. Yesterday we stayed in Toulouse, to explore the heart of the town some more and soak up the "French ...
