Shabbat in Rosh Pinna

Today (Shabbat), we went down to Rosh Pinna and watched not one but TWO movies at the סינמטק Cinemateque. Two COMPLETELY different movies!

The first movie, at 11:00 a.m., was במבי שתיים Bambi 2, dubbed (very well!) into Hebrew. It was very enjoyable, and both David and I picked up a fair amount of the dialog. We MUST continue to go to children's movies like this; it will certainly help us improve our Hebrew!

After this movie, we drove down further down, to Rene, our favorite restaurant in Rosh Pinna, and had lunch. We both decided to try the סלט מקסיקני Mexican salad. It was delicious despite not being very Mexican (do they actually even HAVE "bulgarit", Bulgarian cheese, in Mexico?!?). The actual salad was quite healthy, but the crispy fried tortilla strips served on top of it definitely were NOT. Still, I was more than happy to eat both mine and David's!

The second movie, at 3:30 p.m., was "In Search of Beethoven", which was in English with Hebrew subtitles. Well, at least MOST of it was. There were several places where experts talked in German. There WERE English subtitles, but they were obscured by the HEBREW subtitles, alas! In some cases, I was able to read most of the Hebrew, but the person speaking German, a little of which I also picked up, was NOT helpful in this endeavor. In any case, the movie was EXCELLENT, and I highly recommend it. I gained some appreciation for the greatness of Beethoven and enjoyed the music of his that was included, even though he still is not my favorite composer (that would be either J. S. Bach or W. A. Mozart).
