Yesterday was very sunny and nice out. We took a stroll down the boardwalk next to our hotel, finally turning to go downtown. Our next excursion was to Chapters, where I bought some French books and some… not so French books. I bought Le Diable S’Habille en Prada (The Devil Wears Prada) and Le Patient Anglais (The English Patient). Mom bought the new Jodi Picoult book (if that is her real name…) and, because it was “buy 3 books, get the fourth for free”, I got Twilight.
For the rest of the afternoon, we just generally wandered, occasionally coming back to the room.
**A MOVIE REVIEW**
In the evening, we walked to the cinema (next to the Chapters) and went to see Get Smart, which was pretty entertaining — as Steve Carrel tends to be. There were some fantastic slapstick moments and some really good lines, one of which involved philosophy and made me nearly split in half laughing, while everyone else at the theatre was probably wondering who’d brought a hyena to the movies…
Bises!

Yay Twilight!! If you haven’t started reading it yet, be warned: Bella Swan is possibly one of the most annoying protagonists you are ever likely to come by. During a bunch of parts in the series I seriously felt like pimp-slapping her down several flights of stairs. Then lighting her on fire. But other than that, they’re good books ^.^
And I’m very glad that you enjoyed Get Smart. I was wary of going to see it because I was afraid it would spoil all the good memories I had of the old TV show from back in the day. I trust your judgement ^.^
