martha and paul took me into new york city today for a special treat. filbert wanted to come but paul said he couldn't be trusted to behave himself in at the movies.
i had never been to the movies before soi wasn't sure what he meant. we took the lirr into penn station and then the subway up to central park.
the movie was all in french so i found it very confusing because i had to read the sub-titles at the same time i was watching the movie. i think i missed some stuff but martha said it was just as well - whatever that meant
after the movie we walked over to a nice little french restaurant for a late lunch. we had a real nice waiter who brought a bit of pate for me. i didn't like the wine so i also got some cream. it was very nice.
we walked to the french institute and met lionel and claudine. lionel was nice but claudine is very charming.
on the way to the train to go home, we stopped at myzel's which is a really really nice candy store. the lady who runs it is from belgium and makes most of the cany herself. martha bought dark chocolate covered ginger. i didn't like it that much so she bought me a piece of marzapane. now that was good. when we got home everyone was waiting to hear how the day went so i got to bed rather late.
