i had a somewhat eventful tuesday. i've pretty much checked off most of my paris to-do list now. I'd been wanting to explore the "Paris Plages"--which is basically a "beach" on the Seine. it was actually kind of funny... they had random patches of sand along the river bank with chairs to lay out on and big pots of palm trees and ice cream stands scattered about the area. it looked kind of bizaree.. because people don't actually swim in the Seine.. they just wear bikinis near it. I took a healthy walk from the marias all the way to ponte des arts as i enjoyed a refreshing cone of coconut ice cream.
that night we all migrated to the parc de la villette where the famous outdoor theatre is--or "cinéma en plein air"... didn't know about this before the blog, i swear. they were playing Mulholland Drive--a psychological thriller by David Lynch. movie blew my mind. no joke. i haven't seen a movie that good in a long time... i would highly recommend it. i can't really talk about the plot or anything like that.. because it will ruin it for you.. but trust me. just see it.
what made it more enjoyable, of course, was the good company and good pic-nick food--the usual baguette and goat cheese with wine. mmmmmm...
(the crowd was MUCH bigger than this when we were there... it filled the entire lawn)
