Chicago

My flight got to Chicago at about 6pm. Luli (a friend from high school who lives here, and she's 7 months pregnant, so cute!) picked me up from the airport with her mother. It is so nice to see her again, we worked out today that we hadn't seen each other for 5 years, unbelievable! We went to Luli and Andy's (her husband) house, quick shower, and off to the house of one of their friends, for his (Ivo's) birthday party. Lots of argentineans, and argentinean food. Lots of eating. At midnight: Ivo's birthday, and Luli's 30th birthday!
3rd April: Luli's birthday. We stayed around the house, went to the supermarket, got stuff ready for her birthday party. We went for a walk up to Michigan Lake, took lots of pictures. At night Luli's friends came over for her birthday party. Again: lots of argentineans, lots of food, lots of eating.
Next day: Sunday. Easter Sunday actually. We had lunch at Luli's place with her family and some friends, and had an indoors easter eggs hunt. It was a chilled day, relaxing and eating (again).
On Monday Luli took the day off work. Luli, her sister Sole, their mother and I went out for a city tour. 3 tour guides and 1 tourist, very cool. We first headed down to the south part of town. We walked around the beautiful grounds of the University of Chicago Campus. Then we drove along the lake, and stopped for pictures, and headed all the way to the north of the city. We went to the Swedish area for lunch and looked into shops. And then to the Northwestern University campus, also beautiful and very much like in the movies, with all the frat and sorority houses and people studying on the lawns. We drove around Evanston, with HUGE houses and then went into the Bahai Temple- kinda similar to the one I saw in India, the non-denominational temple. Really amazing and impressive building. And then back to Luli's house in the evening.

Mi vuelo llego a Chicago tipo 6 de la tarde. Luli (una amiga del colegio que vive aca, y esta embarazada de 7 meses, re linda!) me fue a buscar al aeropuerto con la mama. Es tan lindo verla de nuevo, hoy nos dimos cuenta que hace 5 anios que no nos veiamos, increible!! Fuimos a la casa de Luli y Andy (el marido), ducha rapida, y a la casa de unos amigos de ellos, al cumpleanios de uno de ellos (Ivo). Muchos argentinos y comida argentina. Mucho comer. A la medicanoche: oficialmente el cumple de Ivo, y el cumple de Luli de 30!!

3 de abril: cumple de Luli. Nos quedamos en la casa durante el dia, fuimos al supermercado, preparamos las cosas para su cumpleanios. Salimos a caminar a lo largo del lago Michigan, sacamos un monton de fotos. A la noche vinieron los amigos de Luli a la casa para el festejo de su cumple. Otra vez: muchos argentinos, mucha comida argentina, mucho comer.

Al dia siguiente: Domingo. Domingo de Pascuas de hecho. Almorzamos en lo de Luli con su flia y algunos amigos, y tuvimos una busqueda de huevitos de pascua en la casa. Fue un dia tranqui, relajandonos y comiendo (de nuevo).

Luli se tomo el lunes libre del laburo. Luli, la hermana Sole, la mama, y yo fuimos de recorrido por la ciudad. 3 guias de turismo y 1 sola turista, muy bueno. Primero fuimos hacia el sur de la ciudad. Caminamos por el hermosisimo campus de la Universidad de Chicago. Despues manejamos a lo largo del lago y paramos a sacar fotos, y fuimos hasta el norte de la ciudad. Fuimos al barrio sueco a almorzar y a mirar negocios. Y despues al campus de la Universidad Northwestern, tambien hermosisimo y bien como en las peliculas, con todos los edificios donde viven los de las fraternidades y con gente sentada en el pasto estudiando. Manejamos por la zona de Evanston, con casas ENORMES y despues fuimos al Templo Bahai- parecido al que vi en India, es un templo no-denominacional. El eidificio increible, impresionante. Y despues de vuelta a la casa de Luli a la noche.
