Yesterday we had an 8 hour bus ride from Paris all
the way to Toulouse in southern France. The bus trip was uneventful, but we
arrived in Toulouse in the late afternoon. We walked through the city a bit as
a group to the restaurant and after dinner had free time for the evening.
Toulouse isn’t exactly a big tourist destination, but I walked around with a
group to the old portion of the city. It was nice to be in a quieter, more
peaceful city for a while after the intensity of Paris.
This morning we drove from Toulouse first thing in
the morning to Andorra, a small country in the mountains right between Spain
and France. The mountains were beautiful, different from the Alps though, and
still quite cold. When we arrived it rained the whole afternoon, so we could do
very little. The country mostly thrives off of the tourism industry, especially
in the winter with the skiing. At 14:30 we drove onward from Andorra to
Barcelona. We arrived in the early evening, got checked into our hotel and took
the subway to our restaurant. The food was great; it really tasted like summer
food! After dinner we had free time until 23:30, but I came straight to the
hotel with a few others because yesterday I had a sore throat, and I wanted to
be sure that I got enough sleep so I would be ready to go for these next 3 days
in Spain! Plus I got a chance to blog and upload a few pictures! I’ve taken 1000
pictures from this trip already…
