Last night I arrived in Chicago, spent the evening with a close friend, met a new friend from Iraq and spent the evening in a Hookah Lounge after a dinner of Cuban food, followed by Italian. After an evening the night before of listening to bad jazz in a bar in Brooklyn, I departed around midnight and rode to the Windy City in a Chevy hatchback with darkly tinted windows and 3 Americans from Chicago: a young guy who works as a private investigator (hence all the tint)and two musician-hippies.
Today, I had a quintessential mid-western Thanksgiving dinner with some family and friends at a suburban Chicago home, complete with a hummel doll collection and all. Very kind hosts and truly a cultural American experience for someone who has grown up in Woodstock and Boulder! Dinner was followed by foosball, pool and wii golf and tennis. I won a game of foosball and a game of pool.
