Canal du Midi Toulouse

I was in the middle of writing a serious post about something meaningful, when I heard this horrendous noise that I hear every night.

At first, I thought that I must be living near an airport. Nope.
Maybe it was a helicopter? Nope.

Hmm.

Look out the window - it's an enormous 100' river barge, slowly churning past my apartment.

When I first arrived in Toulouse, I was really taken abaft by the beautiful Canal du Midi that is right next to my apartment. Now? Not so much. It's like a train that lasts for 10 minutes, where all the cars are loud locomotives.

That is a big canal

In my haste and anger, I have since read more about that canal, and have decided that it is kind of sweet. Why? Because I saw it on a map.
