Music Festival

Dave and I have been busy over the last few weeks exploring our new surroundings and trying to get our lives set up here. So, I have a bunch of new  blog posts to share in the next little while. Last week we went downtown Toulouse because a colleague of Dave's mentioned that there was some sort of music festival going on. I guess every year on the first day of summer everywhere in France celebrates with a music festival. We made our way to the Capitole building in the centre of downtown Toulouse and sat outside at one of the restaurant patios that surround the Capitole. It was nice to have a drink and people watch and there were lots of people downtown for the festival. We had a good view of the stage too, where different bands were playing throughout the night. There were also tons of people playing instruments, DJing and singing along the many side streets downtown. We even came across a drum line at one point. It was neat to see the variety of musical talent being displayed.

This was the view from our table, not too shabby.

We listened to this band rock out on the clarinet and accordion.

Later we came across this drum line, it was really cool. 

After listening to some music for awhile we decided to grab a gelato at this really yummy gelato place that we had been to when we visited last summer. The cones they make our delicious and beautiful too, as they shape each one into a flower. I got raspberry, chocolate and dulce de leche. Dave got mango, vanilla and yogurt. They were so good!

It was a fun night!

Until next time...

Au revoir
