What did Rebecca eat for dinner? Goat cheese pizza.

Nathalie usually takes us shopping every Wednesday, but during vacation we have to fend for ourselves. I had forgotten how difficult it is to go grocery shopping without a car. Today I had to seriously prioritize my list; I could only buy what I needed immediately (goat cheese pizza) and what wasn’t heavy (goat cheese).

Heather returned from her trip to Switzerland yesterday, bringing with her lots of incredible pictures, some tasty Swiss chocolate, and an abrupt end to the nice weather. That last one isn’t her fault of course, but as soon as she returned, it got foggy and very cold, the complete opposite of the warm, sunny weather we’ve had since last Friday. Tonight Heather, Marlene, Sarah, and I all watched The Two Towers in the kitchen, which was a lot of fun. We are all fans of Lord of the Rings, but the key difference is that Heather and I watch them largely to make sarcastic comments, while Marlene treats them like the serious epic films they are. She was genuinely mad when we made jokes that Legolas was in love with Aragorn. “Why do you keep saying these things about Legolas? You know they were just good friends!” And that made Heather and me laugh so hard we almost collapsed.

I have finally located the address of the Paris theater where Peter Pan made its French premiere in 1908. The original building still exists, but it has been a movie cinema since the 1920s. I am hoping to go to Paris next week and see a movie there – how awesome would that be? I would also like to visit the hotel where JM Barrie stayed during his visits to Paris, but I think that no longer exists.
