We finally caught up with our friend Bob on Sunday. Bob and his wife Peggy are building their dream to be able to sail in the US and in France. They sail on the Bay now and last fall bought a canal boat over here. It is on the Canal laterale a la Garonne in one of our favorite market towns, Castelsarrasin. The boat works just fine but needs some TLC inside. That will take Peggy no time at all to fit out with bright curtains etc.
Bob is retired and does not yet speak French; Peggy's French is very good. So this summer's plan is for Bob to live on the boat in Toulouse and take an intensive French language course there. Here is the newly arrived Bob! We had a great visit on Sunday, an excellent lunch at the St. Louis, and by this posting Bob may already be on his way to Toulouse at a very civilized 8 km an hour. It is important to dream but even better when we are able to make our dreams a reality. Peggy joins Bob in June for her vacation and we plan to catch up with her then. I will post for more images of Castelsarassin and lunch tonight when web traffic is lighter at http://www.flickr.com/photos/petillant
