Primas!!!

Well, we've seem to be continuing a long tradition of exchange with our family in Mexico. Fernando's daughters, Caro and Fernanda, came up to spend 10 days with us here in Chicago. I have to say that their timing was better than Mom and Dad's and Jesus'. They had 10 days of gorgeous weather, perfect for days of sight seeing. I was working during the day but managed to make time to show the girls some of Chicago's evening sights, different foods, and shopping. I also took the architecture boat tour for possibly the 5th time. :) It's not a bad way to get some sun and rest your feet after a long day. :) I must say that the Signature Lounge was my surprize find this time. I've lived here for 8 years now and had never been. We went in the evening and had a great view of Chicago at dusk and then with all the city lights at night. We also did the fireworks at Navy Pier and I went on that darn ferris wheel for the 3rd time. Let's just say it wasn't any easier than the first time. I wouldn't say I'm afraid of heights but that thing freaks me out. The girls also had their first tastes of deep dish pizza, Indian, Greek, and Chinese foods. My students invited us out to Chinatown for lunch after class and the girls got to see where I work and how I love torturing my students! :) It was a great visit! Abrazos para la dormilona y mi tamal! :P
