Where are we?

So, on our way to Spain, we've stopped in Tours, Poitiers, Limoges and now Toulouse. In Tours, we stayed the night. In Poitiers, we were intrigued yet didn't make it much farther than the train station. 600m up with 20lb packs, I don't think so. Had a nice stay and walk around Limoges- which was sadly and largely closed due to previously mentioned and loathed national holiday. So now we're in sweet, gritty, real Toulouse. More manageable than Paris, more urban than Tours and more relevant than Poitiers. So far, we're enjoying Toulouse for tonight and Saturday night. After discovering that camping was pretty far out of town, we hunkered down in a relatively nice place just a stones' throw from le gare (train station). At 6:45am on Sunday, we'll be catching a train to Barcelona and then connecting to somewhere else in Spain- so the proximity will be greatly appreciated! For now, I'm just uploading the latest photos and seein' if the ol' paternals are signed onto Skype. The never-ending game of cat and mouse with wifi and 6hrs time difference... One day! For now, we are happily full of mussels and frites, kir and cassis so  bon soiree and please do one thing for me- enjoy your water pressure and soft toilet paper!! I'll live vicariously. ;)

  1. Great to see so many happy faces (despite the challenges) You just gotta love the french attitude, eh? Some things never change...
