Back in Toulouges again


It's great to be in Toulouges again. We had a good trip. San Francisco to Frankfurt on United, connecting to Toulouse on Lufthansa and picking up our Europecar for the drive to Toulouges. Murielle & Jean Philippe had the house opened, the water heater on and ice made in the refrigerator. We are lucky they are around. It was marvelous to snuggle up in the big bed and sleep off the jet lag. We've been eating well - pork chops yesterday, and a whole chicken with a medal (trimmed and tied by the butcher) on the rotisserie built into the oven, haricot vert with toasted almonds, and the deserts you see here from the sweet bakery up the street. The little cookies you see are macaroons and melt in your mouth. These 3 are strawberry, chocolate and caramel. They are works of art.
Chris' back went out yesterday and she has been suffering, but it seems to be getting slowly better, so we hope she'll be better by tomorrow. We went to Ceret today for the market, and plan to go to Canet-Rosellin for the Olive Festival tomorrow.
We'll keep you posted.
