We woke up this morning to some pretty bad weather. It was rainy and cloudy so we thought it would be the perfect day to go and see a movie. After waiting in line 20 minutes for our tickets to Julie & Julia (apparently we weren't the only ones who thought it would be good idea to go to the movies) we finally made our way into the theater, got our seats and prepared to be pleasantly entertained for the next two hours. The movie was a nice treat. We both enjoyed it. A great mother/daughter film. Nora Ephron's screenplay brings together two true stories; the first of which tells the story of how Julia Child discovered her passion for French cuisine and her dream to have her cookbook published in the mid 1950s and the second is the contemporary story of a post 9/11 government secretary in New York (named Julie) who decides to challenge herself to cook her way through Mrs. Child's famous cookbook in one year and blog about her experiences.
It was a feel good movie, so my mom and I left the theater feeling pretty good. The interesting thing was, when she left all she wanted to do was cook, and for some reason, I just wanted to blog about it. It's really great having her here. We stepped out of the theater and realized that the sun had come out. We decided to spend the rest of our Sunday outside, in the only part of town where things are open on a Sunday -- Vieux Lyon. With her camera in hand, Mom set out to be the vacationing tourist that she is, and clicked her way through the 5e arrondisment.
On our down time, we've just been going out for coffee, tea or beers planning out our time together, getting really excited for what we're going to see in Paris next week.
