Samedi

Tomorrow I am leaving Toulouse to fly to Ireland for four weeks. It´s so strange to me that I will be leaving this place, because in only one month I have met some amazing people, have had so much fun, and have definately changed as a person (hopefully for the better). We all went out last night for the last time, and I was suprised at how emotional I became. I think it is because when you´re put in a situation where you only have a limited amount of time to meet people, everyone makes such strong connections and learns so much about each other. When it´s time to leave, therefore, you feel as close to them as the friends you have had for years and years.

But enough of the sadness! I want to remember Toulouse for its beauty and for all of the amazing days I have spent here...

Summer of Love (and bad tan lines)

Time to introduce some new characters. The first is Leticia, the other girl who lives with Maria and I. She's hilarious and lovely.




Also, Adriana. She's a friend of Maria's from Madrid and we had the best time hanging out by the river and tanning (with mixed results)

This is Adri:


These are our feet:



I'm leaving on Sunday! I really can't believe it. I already think of Toulouse as my home...

Toulouse continued:

okaay, here they are. I've decided to split the photos into groups instead of chronologically because there are so many of them. So here goes:

1. MARIA AND I






2. OTHER FRIENDS










3. THE PLAYGROUND (we like to play in the playground at midnight, when all the kids are gone lol)





This is what happens when our friend Jakub gets a bit too excited about playing with the little children (note the suprised but luckily unhurt child on the ground)


4. BEAUTIFUL TOULOUSE
