Chicago
June 3, 2009
No time to blog but watch me procrastinate. Had a great weekend past in Chicago – the Windy City. A sampling…
- Sharing a sea-salt caramel hot chocolate while sitting outside. Freezing.
- Fantastic conversation over dinner at a great Mexican place. We had chicken in chocolate and chili (it tasted kinda nutty) and a flan in a sugared dome! And alcohol. Lots of it. There are few things in life that make me happier.
- More conversation till ungodly hours sitting the hotel lobby.
- Walking really far for brunch. Having omelettes with cheese and stewed apples and drowning our pancakes in maple syrup. YUM!
- Getting in line for Garrett’s popcorn. Cheddar cheese and caramel seems like an odd combination but it tastes good!
- Rush tickets (ie. cheap) for Jersey boys. Seats so bad that we couldn’t see the top part of the stage. BUT we managed to upgrade ourselves midshow! I think I really annoyed J by singing “Oh what a night” all the way back to the hotel.
- Chicago deep dish pizza for dinner at 11pm! The healthy lifestyle. Clearly.
- A long walk along the river and out to Lake Michigan. Wandering around Navy Pier. Ferris Wheel anyone? The weather was so great! I was walking around in shorts all day.
- Half a burger from Boston Blackies and half a super yummy coconut lemony cupcake in the sun in Millenium Park. Lying in the sun, listening to people rehearse, watching the world go by. Again, few things make me happier.
- My first ever baseball game! I learnt a lot about baseball and got a baseball cap!
What a weekend! I realise that I am really easy to please. Just need a bit of sun and a bit of food! Haha.
