Ahh... another Sunday in Lyon. As most of the shops were closed and I (obviously) didn't have to go to work today, I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go for a bike ride around town. After two failed attempts at renting a velo'v (one had a flat tire, the other had issues with the gear shift) I got on my bike and began to pedal towards the enormous Parc de la 
Tete D'Or. The park has everything in it from a zoo to a museum of modern art, but I was on a mission to go see a movie at the UGC Cite International. The cinema was in a part of the park I had yet to explore, a very interesting stretch of land -- on which I found a hotel, a casino and.... The International Criminal Police Organization's official headquarters, in Lyon. Yes, ladies and gents, I biked past Interpol today. It's a pretty classy looking place. Not that I went inside or anything, I wouldn't want to be late for my screening of The Ugly Truth. Though it would have been fitting for me to go see some conspiracy theory action film after discovering such a fascinating location, sometimes a girl just need a cheesy and predictable romantic comedy on a Sunday afternoon. And for the record, I'm not embarassed to say that I actually laughed out loud a couple of times during the movie. It had its moments.
