Rose

 - pink, because Toulouse was so very!

As you've probably already gathered, I spent last weekend in Toulouse, the third largest French city. Toulouse is actually known as La Ville Rose, or the pink city, because all the buildings there are made out of brick, giving it a pinkish tinge. Very pretty, very unique. Even the churches were brick!



This weekend was also my first time couch-surfing. Basically this means my friends and I found someone on a website who was willing to let us sleep in their domicile as long as we were in Toulouse. It sounds really sketchy, but it was actually a good experience. The guy we ended up staying with was a very chill, hippie-like college student who had many good reviews from previous travelers. He showed us around the city a little bit, and because he was so nice we made him dinner as a thank-you. It was actually the first time I've done some real cooking since I've been here, so that was fun as well.
