22 hours till Jenn lands in Nice. I have a 5 hour drive ahead of me. Staying in a Marriott Courtyard by the Toulouse airport, these points sure come in handy. Now the question is whether I spend the night at the airport, or would the parking cost trump that of a cheap hotel. Can’t seem to reach my French host family which I guess isn’t the best sign.
By the way, Toulouse is beautiful - except it turns into a ghost town after 8pm on a Friday night. People seem to drink their dinners… Which I learned starts at 7:30p. Another useful lesson was the difference between restaurant (full quality service), bistro (small with untrained services, dishes scribbled on chalkboards with standard dishes), cafe (coffee, booze, moulds frites and croquet monsieurs), bouchon (pig and duck), brasserie (wine), salon (like a US cafe), and bar (same).
