We're leaving Toulouse for Paris next week...most things are taken care of and the next week will be relatively stress free. We've had 2 sets of visitors since last week. First it was A & J making a pit stop in Toulouse from their trip to Barcelona and then P's cousin J & S from Canterbury. It is always nice to have visitors, it helps us re-see Toulouse for all its pretty charm and past the dog shit and whiffs of urine from small medieval alleys.
Here are some photos that J took during her visit - some rare ones of us at the market doing our usual market thing amidst older french women in fancy sunglasses. They love their fancy sunglasses here.
Piles and piles of different types of salad. I'm waiting to pay for radishes and red oak leaf lettuce. We're at the daily market of Blvd. Strasbourg. 
Hands down, the coolest carousel we've seen so far. Rather than garish horses and carriages on the typical merry-go-rounds, this one had different versions of old flying machines, boats, a giant bucking ant, rhinos and a crocodile. After one turn, I saw a little boy go up to the old man who ran the thing and the old man pulled out a little candy from his pocket for the boy. Love, love, love that.
