sun, shopping, and stuttering kings

I tried blogging this morning after sleeping in and cleaning my apartment.... but it was just too beautiful outside to sit inside! I left around 1:30 to go into Lyon to meet up with Hannah and her friend Mia. They were going to see the King's Speech at 4:20, so I had some time to kill. I decided I'd take another look at some shops while the sales were still going on...try to find some birthday presents or something. It took me over an hour to get into Lyon.... the tram was packed with lots of families with kids and bikes.... so I guess it just took longer with so many people getting on and off at each stop.

Once I got off and walked through Rue de Victor Hugo... I thought my goodness! I guess I wasn't the only one who felt cooped up this week. There were loads of people out! I went into a few stores, but it was just too packed to really look. I eventually met up with Hannah and Mia and we got our seats early for the movie (which was a good thing as it was packed too!). The movie was sooo good.... very interesting, funny at times, but also heart warming and uplifting. I highly recommend it! (It's about George VI, Queen Elizabeth's father, who had a stutter, but lead England throughout WWII). After the movie, we went to the crêperie I went to with Lindsey and Amy back in November. I had the crêpe tatin (warm caramelized apples with whipped cream, yumz). I took a picture to show you! (It's been so long since I posted a picture!!!)

Anywayz- reste cool. Going to go chat with me mum now. I'm tutoring tomorrow... but not doing much else accept readying for the week ahead!

  1. Happy you're up and blogging again. Boy, going from staying at home recovering to staying out until 11:30. Ah, youth. Funny, we went and saw the Kings Speech this past Wednesday. We went at 10:45 in the morning.....ha, there were a total of 8 other people there for the show. Lovely. We both enjoyed it. Stay well and have fun.
