Bonjour les parents


Well my parents came and went.

We had a great visit, albeit too short! They had wonderful weather and we packed a lot into just a few days. My Dad was here for only 2 days - Saturday and Sunday - then headed up to London for some business until Saturday. We made sure he got to taste all the pastries, charcuterie and wine in 2 days he would have in 5 before heading to the land of fish and chips. We did a day trip and picnic to Cordes-sur-Ciel, a beautiful little village about an hour and a half from Toulouse built on a hill with Gisèle and had a lovely dinner at home with Gaby, Gisèle and Gilou. After my Dad left my Mom and I spend a great 4 days in Toulouse before she left on Thursday just walking around the center. I had rearranged some classes so that I could spend as much time with her as possible.

Here are some more photos and cliff notes of their stay in Toulouse (if there are more pictures of food than people, don't worry that's normal):
