      Albi

      Toulous Lautrec was from Albi - so was George Pompidou. Its easy to see their source of inspiration. I found my way to my hotel from the train station. It's located at the good of the Pont Neuf here in Albi. I have a beautiful view from my window- very photogenic- it was hard
      to leave but I really wanted to check out Albi while the light was good. I roamed the streets looking for the Lautrec Museum and entrance times for the cathedrals, restaurants, a boulangerie, shopping for Harry, etc. The problem is that EVERTHING IN THIS PLACE IS CLOSED with the exception of a few restaurants. The difference between Albi and Lourdes is unbelievable. Lourdes was crackling with activity. Albi is asleep in comparison!

      After heading back to the hotel I wound up watching Law and Order in French. It was very depressing... since I couldn't understand more than every 5th word! How could that be? I poured some wine and my mobile rang. It was Harry calling to tell me that someone tried to break into our studio on Hull St. What a drag. My sweet husband will have to go there tomorrow to check it out. I feel so bad about this but there is nothing I can do about it.
      Now I really need a drink.
