Primo!

Well, as luck would have it, I was calling my cousin in Mexico to see if he was up to a visit from me this May, and he had just decided to come visit us here in Chicago! Funny, we don't see each other for over a year, and now we will see each other twice in the space of a month. :) I was very excited to host my cousin and show him the best of the city. We plied him with Indian and Ethiopian food (What?? I sure wasn't going to feed him tacos!!), and took him to a blues bar, walked around the downtown area, spent a few hours at the Field museum, and William took him for drinks at the bar at the top of the Hancock. We jammed all we could in during his whirlwind weekend stay. :) I am glad to have finally been able to return his hospitality after having visited him in Mexico so many times. It doesn't hurt that our city is pretty darn spectacular either. :) Special thanks to Malora and Charlie for spending time with us and allowing us to indirectly celebrate Charlie's birthday, although he is loath to even admit to having a birthday! :)

By the way, the weather was also lousy when my cousin was here! Things have warmed up since, but this has been 'the winter that just won't END'! And one wonders why I want to head south??
