Seen in Toulouse

This morning it snowed for about an hour, although none of it stuck. I was in class on the 5th floor and the snow was whirling around outside very beautifully.

Waiting for the bus this afternoon, I saw a man cycling by wearing white robes and a parka. I thought at first he was wearing a traditional Arab type long shirt which would look like a dress/robe, but then I saw the rosary beads attached to the waist and realized he was a monk. Yes, a Catholic monk.

I also passed by the CREPS for Midi-Pyrénées (ministre de jeunesse et sport) which here in Toulouse is in a chateau. Quite unusual for training PE teachers, don't you think?
