I had the fortune to be visited by Prof. Zeithammer, to whom I demonstrated the beauty of the french railroad strikes (which are not that common, really), and how you can get on the wrong train... anyways, we enjoyed touring Toulousse for half a day, enojoying french cuisine. Then we hoped onto the Pyrenees for some mountain climbing. Lastly, we spent the last day at the Gavirnie Cirque, part of the UNESCO world heritage site, and visited Lourdes, home of the miracle cave.
