On August 15th I posted here about my summer readings and mentioned I was reading EAT PRAY LOVE by Elizabeth Gilbert; by then I also posted the trailer of its film adaptation and later left a very short comment here. Well, yesterday off to the cinema I went but not alone :))))) We were a large group of forty (teachers and adult learners of English) and really had a nice time - as always -watching Julia Roberts learning Italian (and Italian gestures), slurping spaghetti, desperately trying to wear trousers that weren't definitely her size any more, chanting (or trying to) in Sanskrit, meeting a toothless medicine man,...and always surrounded by nice and/or good looking men, real hotties, I would say ;)) Lucky woman!  |

As I said before in my wallwisher, I loved this autobiographical book: a divorcee's epic search around the world for inner peace. Of course we can always question her reasons to do it but in what the book is concerned, it is personal and rich in spiritual insight. Liz Gilbert is sometimes hilarious and has a great sense of humour. As far as I am concerned, I found her writing captivating and her travelogue exciting. As for the film, we have the privilege of having a glimpse of all the beautiful and fascinating places she went to (Italy, India and Indonesia) as well as their cultures - worlds apart, obviously!
Hope you liked it :)
