Jet Lag in Toulouse

Toulouse is a wonderful place to recover from jet-lag, especially when your French friends keep showing up full of fun and entertainment. First our friend Beatrice met up with us and we had a lovely day reconnecting and sampling the finest local wines. Today we were whisked away from the city heat by our friend Maud for a picnic on the shady banks of a beautiful river. She and her two gorgeous friends prepared a magnificent spread of local food and wine for us.

We have been staying in the old part of Toulouse where we have enjoyed walking around and seeing the beautiful streets and magnificently ornamented buildings. The art galleries are also a particular treat. Gord thinks that the director of the National Gallery of Canada would sell his mother into slavery to possess the art that is found in any regional museum in France.
