In Toulouse!!

Yeah I made it!!! It is quite beautiful here! Totally worth the 28 hours it took to get here. The weather is beautiful clear skies sunny and warm, with no hint on it turning on you the way the weather does in Seattle.

Everyone rides bikes here which is great. However one our first purchases was to go out and buy humongous bike locks because Toulouse is apparently a prime target for bike thieves which steal them and ship them out to Eastern Europe!

The place we are staying is right in the city. The actual apartment is deep within the inner court yard so it is very quiet even though the gate to it is right off a busy street.

I rode to work with Billy today along the Canal du Midi which is suppose to go all the way to the Mediterranean. It was very nice and all the leaves have come out in the last two weeks so it is shady and currently highly pollinated-looked like a "snow storm" of pollen!
