France Travel Journal. Day 20 (Sun., June 19) - Toulouse

We left Lunac in the morning, and drove to Toulouse.  After an unintentionally serpentine path into the centre, we parked the car, consolidated luggage and packages, and dropped them off at the hotel.

Lunch with Kate's Alliance Francais friend Ruiz, and his companion Christof.  I ordered Toulousian sausage, to to assure that I had a least one meal of it.

Then returned the car, and took the Navette back from the airport.

But the social day continued.  We had dinner with our friends Bertrand and Cecile at their home, and we joined by Pam and Morgan. Pam was hugely pregnant.  She's due on the 28th of June.

Here's some more Michel Portal.  It's a bit out of place -- the next posts really should be about the emergence of free jazz in France in the late 60's -- but given Portal's importance to French jazz, it really needs no apology.
