TOURISTS
I brought my camera today to finally show our photos, but I forgot the cable. Maybe I will be more clever next time.
Mardzi came on Sunday morning, it took us ages to the airport and that much back. And we had to go back home to leave her bags, because there are no lockers in the city of Chicago. Either they are afraid of bbbbbbombs or of thieves. Like our janitor Rajko said: some things are better here, but some things are worse! I just have to find better things. I know, i know, living in Germany spoils you, and living in Berlin even more. But many things here are still from the middle ages. They use checks to pay rent, we don't use them even in Serbia anymore (I think, or at least not many people). One day I will make a list of all the things strange to someone coming from Europe. Like, you have to pay minutes on your mobile phone when someone is calling you. Or if you receive a text-message.
But weather is great, sun is shinning, it was 20 degrees yesterday CELSIUS. And it is snowing in Berlin. Hi, hi!
Sunday we did a little walk through some "cool" parts of Chicago, in the north (we live in the south, totally uncool). Chicago's famous wind was blowing, it was freezing. We had good, big American Burgers for dinner (not as good as Tom's, of course). And Austrian beer, we only drink IMPORTED, mostly German, no American diluted... Sorry.
Monday Boris went to work, two of us downtown, it was hot and sun was shinning. We did a bit of architecture sight seeing, a bit of shopping. We have great photos from the US- second tallest building, where we had expensive beer and marvelous view at this beautiful city, great architecture, blue lake Michigan on a sunny day! And for dinner later we had one of Chicago's best ribs, hmmmmmmm, lecker!!!
Tuesday was Hyde Park walk, University of Chicago, and the lake, 20 mins walk from our home. And you are right at the beach! Then downtown, again a bit of shopping for girls, flowers are very in now, just a paradise for girls!
Next day Mardzi left.
