Reconnected. At last. Since moving out of my hotel it has taken some time and patience to get reconnected. So the first post in a while. It's probably Day 16 or something. Old Toulouse has blocks and blocks of flats with centre courtyards which for the most part remain invisible. You can get a glimpse once in a while when someone opens the gate for whatever reason. But wow. Some of these oases are truly amazing. Wouldn't you want to go inside?
Second photo shows a nightclub. Not sure I'd want to go in. This was taken more or less to show HS that they do exist in fact! I am going to take some more shots of nightclubs. There are some floating ones-- on converted houseboats-- with names like Kargo.
Last weekend I had dinner with a French family. Quite nice. we had Raclettes-- spelling unsure-- which is a kind of apres-ski dish involving cheese, potatoes and wine. I also drove their car that day which was quite an experience-- those roundabouts are wild.
As Mehitable would say, toujours gai, kid, toujours gai en Toulouse.

Hey, good to see you back!
We thought perhaps you had been abducted by a gargoyle.
I couldn't help but think that someone trapped inside the courtyard might be yearning to get outside!
Thanks for the nightclub poster pics. I noticed one is advertising DIRT dancing. Hmmm.
The LRC Starbucks gang has discovered a new coffee drink.
An Americano, which is an expresso shot topped/diluted with hot water to approach a typical serving size.
It's a very smooth alternative to a regular coffee. Wondered if these are available there or if they'd be considered a Western aberration.
Uff - ich dachte schon du bist krank. Dabei treibst du dich die ganze Zeit in Nachtclubs und Hinterhöfen rum. P.S.: Ich schreibe heute in Deutsch, damit du die Chance bekommst, eine nette Übersetzerin kennen zu lernen. Ist doch eine gute Idee, oder? Schreibe, ob es funktioniert hat, das würde mich sehr freuen für dich! :-))
