Thanksgiving in Toulouse
One thing about Toulouse that stands out is the amount of well cared for public space that exists. There are parks (small and large) everywhere. Today we picnicked in one of them - the Jardins des Plantes. While today's weather was not perfect (rating a strong 2.0), it was great for a long walk to the park; a leisurely picnic; and a long stroll back (different route, of course), which included a stop for café.
Today is Thanksgiving in Canada, so we went out to dinner in France at an Italian restaurant. Seemed about right!
After a shared entrée of insalata caprese, Steve had pasta à la carbonara and Susan had tagliatelle à la mer - everything was very tasty. As we have been drinking very good wine at lunch, we simply had a pichet of red with dinner. A while later, back at the hotel, we had dessert - amazing chocolate bought at a nearby artisan chocolatier the other day. Yum!
