Nothing changes in Toulouse...or so I thought when arriving late last night at Edu's place. I was listening to RTL2 like in the good old days when I used to drive to Airbus every morning. Edu has not changed...still as welcoming, warm and open as always. It's been 4 years since my last visit. Everything feels familiar, but yet, i am a little confused...not sure anymore what the shortest way is from the Place du Capitole to the Pont Neuf. What happened to the Bistro Romain? And to "Boulangerie Paul" in the rue St. Rome? Just when i thought that nothing changes in the old continent...I realize that some of my favorite places have dissapeared. At least i have the memories. And in honour of those, Sunny and I walked all the way back to get an almond croissant from one of their other branches...and I ordered Carpaccio for lunch at the new pizzeria that is replacing the Bistrot Romain...ce n'est pas a volonte, main on fait avec, as we would say in Belgium.
Appart from that, toulouse is still toulouse...a city with beautiful buildings, all made in this pink/red coloured brick, which gives it its name of "Ville Rose", a city small enough to walk around and (almost) not get lost, but the city is also big enough to offer you anything you need...from a new pair of shoes (or was it two?) to a colourful butterfly mobile made of paper...I had forgotten how much i liked this place.
Oh, and in case someone wonders, the metro ligne B is finally finished and the flunch still serves delicious chocolate cake!
