Home for a month is 1/2 block from the Canal du
Midi which we will hopefully float down once our Dutch Barge, Forty Roses III,
is finally completed. Right now we are attempting to pin down the launch date
with our builder. This is proving to be a more difficult question than anticipated.
Working "full speed" apparently includes no estimate of completion.
So we are not so patiently waiting.
In
the meantime, we enjoy the sunshine of Toulouse and begin to find our way about
the city. The apartment is bright and airy, located in a residential area 5 minutes’
walk from Jeanne D'Arc Metro station. Basically the city centre. Yesterday I
took my usual walking route and to my delight on the Rue de Strasbourg a huge
market had sprung up. The photos are far better than any words to describe the
produce and the customers filling their baskets and sacks with mouthwatering
goods. I have never seen greener more beautiful cabbages!
