Toulouse – day 3

5 Jun

Last day here before we hit the road. In retrospect we should have arranged to have the first day’s hotel available when we arrived in the morning, and then left today. Beautiful warm sunny day (25°) and I need sunscreen after neglecting it yesterday. We took another of the self-guided walking tours and hit another museum/gallery. Sat on the bank of the Garonne for lunch and I ate my lovely baguette sandwich while Tara had more yogurt, muesli, and fruit.
We came back to the hotel early so I could get at the bike. I had scored at a big sports store, replacing the CO2 cartridges I had confiscated. I then fixed the flat, inflated the tires, and did a few adjustments. Ready to go I think.

The local (almost) free bike system, used heavily by the Toulousians.

Attracted to plants that actually grow.

On the bank of the Garonne, a free ride to the Atlantic.

A few 15th century wood frame houses remain.

    You do an interesting blog! I’m jealous, also exhausted by the time we get to the computer. Happy trails! M&S

    Hi you guys, looks like you are having a good trip…wish I was there. I could really go for one of those crepes right now. It’s been pretty rainy here for the past couple of weeks. Talked to Erika, sounds like she is getting everything organized for the student visa but hasn’t had much luck with getting another job. Take Care! Leesa
