After leaving Sugar Hill around 10:30 Monday morning, we finally made it to our hotel in the Pyrenees...25 hours later!  We flew from Montreal to Munich, then changed planes and arrived in Toulouse at 1 pm.  

I have not spent any time in Germany since the 50's so as our plane descended into Munich, it was hard not to remember that this is a country where extermination camps existed.  That such horrors existed is mind blowing.

Back to a positive note...We picked up our rental car (that's our's on the left)

and drove to our hotel in Arreau, arriving there at 3:30 PM where we were warmly greeted by the hotel owners, Marie Helen Aubiban and her mother, with a kisses on each cheek.   Our room has windows on three sides and the views are incredible from each.  

Jet leg is definitely kicking in; I’m tired and dirty, but couldn’t be happier; it is so beautiful here! 

Dinner is included with our room rate and that’s why we love this place.  Gourmet food serve in a true environment of casual elegance. 

Life is good!
