Yesterday's Outing

My life has seemed a little constricted

the past few days,

so I decided it was time for an outing.

The Grand Cinema has a film series every Tuesday,

featuring films that probably wouldn't draw 

a large enough audience for a week-long run,

but that have artistic merit.

This week's offering was The King's Choice.

Norway's King Haakon VII

was faced with a choice when the Germans invaded

Norway in 1940 -- he could make a unilateral decision

to accede to Germany's demands that the Norwegians not resist

their occupation (likely saving thousands of lives)

and accept a puppet government that had ousted 

the duly elected one

or he could honor the country's constitution

by refusing to negotiate, saying only the Norwegian people 

could make such an important decision.

An interesting film covering historical events

about which I knew little.

After that viewing,

I took a little detour before going home

(and picking up some soup on the way).

Can you guess where I went?
