Melting pot of news
Hey!
Nearly up-to-date with you guys… I still need to tell you about this week and the weird weather we had: rainy, humid, hot, hailing, … what can I say? This is what it looked like on Friday, when we had all four seasons in a day:
SO we had plenty of indoor activites. Working of course, in the beautiful Chicago Public Library, the biggest library in the world, they say, but also reading (as it feels like we have a whole library at home). Among others, I’m catching up with the local (and global) rock star’s bestseller: The Audacity of Hope.
And we had a fritalian (cf Dunkin Donuts’ commercial) night: cheese, bread ‘n wine that we got in Treasure Island, “the most European supermarket”.
We also had a crazy night, in the storm, running up North to find this amazing old school cinema (you can get in free if you’re on the list!!) to watch this award-winning French movie: Séraphine. The actress was great and some shots really were wothwhile, although we were soaked and had to borrow a whole roll of toilet paper to kinda dry off ourselves.
Then we went to this very nice tapas bar, called BULL-eh-DIA’s (3651 N. Southport Ave, 60613 – www.bull-eh-dias.com), where we had many classic yet delicious tapas, drinking sangria. I recommend the gaspacho, which we asked warmed up as we were still kinda cold… it really was amazing. The waiters were the nicest and the owner talked to us for a little bit before inviting us at an “Ibiza” party in July… we appreciated it, that was pretty thoughtful of him. AND I got to dry off my hair and my jacket thanks to the handdryer!!
After that we ended up at the Lumen, pretty nice club although the mixes were sort of… unexpected. Just like the underaged girls dancing on the pool… Well, we still had a great night out!
