Viva La France!

Here's the thing...

We have stepped away from the crazy that is the USA and settled in the ville rose: Toulouse, France. 

This is the Capitole, or city hall in Toulouse. First built in 1190, it went through a few changes until this façade, 135 meters long, was built in 1750. These red-pink bricks, used to build much of the city, were made from clay high in iron oxide.

We have been dealing with the Prefecture to get my carte de séjour (residence permit), so that I can stay in France for more than 90 days. Fingers crossed, we hope to hear back from them by the end of August.

More to follow as we get settled in.

Peace my friends
