Arrived in Toulouse late yesterday afternoon and checked into apartment - modern two bed in good location. Susan and Biruta due to arrive on train a few hours later (2012) so i was heading for the station to get the lay of the land.
50m down the road there was the sound of live music off to the right. It was a small local market with a brass band made up of a dozen or so young people playing trumpets, saxophones, horns etc. Upbeat South American style. Kids dancing; everyone very happy.
I took the opportunity to provision for dinner (bread, cheese, tart etc.). Found Susan and Biruta and settled in. Had a walk about the city. Appears to have had a big makeover in the commercial centre. Huge pedestrian area, nice gardens - looks prosperous. Picked up a Victor Hugo theme and assume he is a lcoal identity.
Grazed our dinner quite late.

Renee A quick trip to Carcassonne would be worth a visit, the most complete medieval walled city in Europe.
