Last Friday night we had a good laugh with Susan and Alan as we were trying to find the Camelot Movie Theatre where "The Lives of Others" was playing. We arrived too late but it reminded us of our wild tour of Dublin with the "best taxi driver in Dublin" (according to our hotel owner) trying to find the car that went along with our exchange. Jim ended up going into a post office and got directions since the driver seemed incapable of doing anything but going around in circles. I think he was headed to the pub for the rest of the day after he dropped us off.
We went to see the movie last night and were very impressed with the movie and the theatre. It's a wonderful old room with lovely curtains that open and close with the beginning and ending of the movie. A great experience after the cineplexes. They seem to specialize in foreign films. There's a French one on at the moment as well..."Avenue Montaigne".
My cousin, John, writes this about the weather back home:
"Weather here is quite variable. Some days it's cold and wet and other daysit's wet and cold with the odd day of really cold and really wet in betweensome occasional snow flurries."
Doesn't exactly sound like Camelot...
