An American Cuisine in Toulouse!


Here is a picture of the:

Famous Cuisine American

Last time I posted a picture of the apartment you were looking the other way out the windows.

Since today was "the first day of the rest of my life" ;-) I decided to go take a Tai Chi class. I loved it!

I thought that I would be a total dork and get lost and not know what to do but it was fun. The instructor was really nice and fortunately there was another woman in the class who was an ingenue (beginner) so I did not wind up practicing alone. It is very calming and takes a fair amount of concentration. Next I am going to try Qi Gong I am curious about the difference.

No mishaps in French today at least none that I am aware of. However, if you are staying for more than a week and you're American they assume that you must be working for Airbus. Sometimes I think it would be easier to just agree that "yes, I am working for Airbus" and move on to the next topic. Like how many children I have. What does surprise me is that most French I talk to know where Washington State is. I found out the reason is because before they graduate from High School they are required to learn all the states in the US (and their genders and capitols)! Amazing.

I realized today that outside of our weekend trip I have only ridden in a car twice since I left Seattle. Living in the center of an old city makes cars a real hassle so walking, riding a bike, or using public transport makes sense. Of course it doesn't mean there are no cars. In fact when you ride your bike past the cars at Rush Hour it is just like the States most cars only have one occupant.
