I was suppose to leave Paris around 11 am on Thursday the 4th but due to the French Airline employees going on strike, my flight was delayed 3 TIMES!!! I end up leaving the airport at 3:45pm, arriving at 5:11pm then having to find my way to my aunt's B (my father's sister) apartment in Toulouse. After the cab driver drop me off at her apartment, i had to figure out how i was getting in her building. I had no phone nor internet access and i did not know her married name (her new last name), so i randomly rang every buzzer that did not have a first name attached to it until i got her husband. He told me that my aunt went to the airport to pick me up but I could come up while he called her.

After settling in, my aunt, her husband and i walked over to a restaurant called Cafe Luce and ate dinner there. Prior to our meal, wine was order then during dinner more wine was order and after dinner more wine was order! When there's alcohol in my system, i tend to talk too much and i become overly happy. I think i made a fool of myself but oh well I'm only there for 2 weeks.

The next day, i went running around town and visited Jardin Raymond IV and ran back to the apartment.

I spent some time trying to figure out the internet situation then hung out around the house.

Later on the day, my aunt gave me the first mini tour of Toulouse. We saw La Grave (hospital for cancer patients), walk over the bridge and went to La Capitole. I love the architect of French buildings, most of my pictures are of it. She explained  a bit of the history over the bridges and stores around. Also, i did a better job of controlling myself in not over talking especially after alcohol was serve during every meal.
