| A view of the Ferris wheel at Toulouse Plages from across la Garonne. |
Acknowledging that the weather we've had in south west France this summer would make our California family and friends envious, I still feel compelled to complain ... just a little. August isn't even over and we already must close our windows at night because the mornings are so chilly. It's rained a bit nearly every day, usually when Ken and I are on a walk. And it's been challenging to jump in the Eymet pool on Monday mornings for aquagym class, (although our
trรจs mignon teacher warms my friends and I up pretty quickly).
Oh, pauvre nous!
I took a solo trip to Toulouse last week and in search of a bit of summertime, had to visit the riverside attraction Toulouse Plages. Similar to Paris, each summer the city of Toulouse sets us a mock beach (
sans sand), complete with lounge chairs, a pirate's cove, snack bar and, best of all, a huge Ferris wheel.
On this particular Monday afternoon, there is no line for the ride, and before I know it I am enjoying a bird's eye view of
la Ville Rose (the Pink City).
