Canal du Midi


While visiting my friend last week, we got a chance to walk along some of the Canal du Midi. The canal runs from the city of Toulouse down to the Mediterranean port of Sète and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Toulouse is a most enchanting place (when planning your next trip to France, try coming here instead of Paris) with incredible gardens and sumptuous architecture. Music lovers especially will rejoice.

Love those gardens and canals. DYK that Ohio has a little known National Park built around a canal. Here's a link (http://www.nps.gov/cuva/). Also the Delaware River between New Jersey and Pennsylvania has lovely canals near Lambertville and New Hope that are used for recreation. Love, F

Robin,
Thanks for the framed photo from your party at Sherry and Lowell's house. Debbie and I really appreciate it. I read all your back blogs today and they were great. I'm glad all is well with you and Andrew and you are adjusting to life in England. Take care.
Love,
Irene
