After another early morning rise to catch the 7am flight to Toulouse, we were greeted at the airport by Michel and his lovely son Melvin. We spent two days in Toulouse with Michel and Myriam, (Thank you for your hospitality) who have a beautiful house right near Place Du Capitole (A square surrounded with lovely French restaurants). Soren kept remembering the places he visited as a young 14year old boy (on a three month exchange)....where he got lost, and the park- Place du Wilson.  The perfumery that he bought perfume for his mum 14 years ago was still there. Our favourite part of Toulouse would have to be the Point Neuf Bridge, near the river. Toulouse known as the pink city (la villa rose) because of the profusion of red-rose brick buildings.
14.5 times 2 equal 29. 29 the age Soren turned on August 25th 2008. 14.5 the age soren was when he was last in Toulouse, who would have thought Soren would return back to Toulouse, double his age. We hired bikes to ride around the city and visited Le Caouson (the school that Soren went to while on exchange). Why is that when we are small everything seems so far away and so much bigger, but then we grow up and everything seems smaller. The school which seemed to be a huge play ground for a 14.5 year old boy now didn't seem all that big returning as a grown man.

Our week intinery is to hire a car and head towards Monaco travelling along the beautiful French coastline. Remembering that the French drive on the wrong (right) side of the road, this should make for an interesting drive.
