Our afternoon/evening in the city was really great. The movie was intense and beautiful and heartbreaking and life giving. It was incredibly well crafted and impressively honest. It was both stunningly quiet and jarringly loud. Very much worth seeing on the big screen.
It was wonderful being out and about in the summery city. I was happy. Traffic was a breeze getting in and out, we found a perfect and free parking spot, we talked about the movie in the shade of a stand of trees sitting on a granite bench...
And dinner with family was lovely. I loved the pork belly and diver scallop "tacos" (I requested salad greens in lieu of the corn tortillas) and the guacamole was scrumptious. I did not feel deprived for a moment, even when the churros came out for dessert. I was satisfied. I thought it would be hard to be around gluten-y sugar-y foods...and it was not...at all.
And it didn't feel weird. Just normal.
