Toulouse: A city of two faces...Don't let the sun deceive you, I had to buy pants, gloves, and socks before the day was over...

Face 1: Unquestionably classy and traditional:



Face 2: Defiantly modern:

It's been a real test not to send postcards... In my mind I've written so many...
 



Slowly slowly, slowly I rush precipitantly forward...

"Sometimes, I feel like such beautiful things have no place existing in real life--like they belong only in Middle Earth or a Province of Narnia. Their crispy reality and tangibility are ungraspable even when I can run my fingers through eroded stone and ancient dust. I saw MA written on the Earth--proudly rising itself to the sky...The middle of nowhere is beautiful."

From casual strangers to a familiar friend...A more intimate look into this Southern city called Montpellier...
