Stuck in the South of France...

But truly, can one really be "stuck" somewhere this fabulous???

Ran my first EVER 12k race today - OUTSTANDING!!!

So incredibly in love with Toulouse and everything about it, I can only imagine how sad I will be to leave when this volcano decides it has done enough damage...

Endless photos to share as soon as I am home. Off to the vide grenier now in the beautiful sunshine!!!

(I am even getting the hang of the french keyboard!)

Miss you all - much love-

Well, if you're going to be stuck somewhere in this world, I think the south of France would be my top pick, too! Nicely done!

Hope you continue to have a glorious time!

I have been following your journey on Facebook and think of you often. There could be worse places to be stuck my friend and I know you are having a fabulous time. Will keep my fingers crossed that things will be back to *normal* when it is time to depart.... Hugs & Love my friend.

Yeehaa to the your race!!! Like I said yesterday..hard to garner any pity for you in your perfect locale...but I know getting back to the family is on your mind so that will get a sigh. Seriously have fun with Kasey & hopefully the volcano will give Eurpoe a rest soon.

I knew there'd be some little blogger surface to say "I'm stuck".. with this awful volcano situation. So pleased you are not stuck, unwashed and hungry on the floor of an airport somehwere! A-m xx

Drat! How did you get access to a computer? I was sure I had kidnapped you and tied you to the silverware table at the brocante!! Now - just need to set off a few more volcanoes and you'll be mine for ever...( insert evil laugh here) ;-)

Don't worry about her everyone, I'll just feed her more wine and it'll all pass in a daze!
