Colombian Dinner!! YUMMY!!

Alex and I went to Las Tablas for a Colombian night!!I really wanted her to try Colombian food before leaving Chicago. Based on past experiences, I think that Colombian food out of Colombia never taste nearly as good. Either because they don’t have the correct ingredients or because the cook isn’t Colombian. But in this case and to my surprise the food was excellent. And alex got to try: churrasco, chimichurri, papa choreada, yuca frita, aji,platano maduro y arepa. It was GREAT!!

Dinner @ Le Bouchon

Great restaurant!!

After a good party night; a good sunday downtown!!

Back in Berlin...

Alex and I met for the first time exactly a year ago. We went to Berlin, but I was totally wasted and don’t remember a thing…
the pictures don’t lie…



Here we are a year later at the same place!!
This time I actually know how the place looks like…

Peruvian dinner & German fest!!

The Riverfront!!

After the kayaking night, I really wanted to checkout the bars that I saw from the water by the riverfront. Alex was up for it!!
Here in Flatwater, which isn’t my kind of joint although the view is pretty nice…


And here at the lounge in Japonais, which was absolutely cool and I totally recommend it!!!

The kids explore Chicago!!

Hannah's first visit to the Hancock!!

Kayaking in the Chicago river at night!!!

On labor day night, Rob, me and about 30 more people went kayaking in the river, all the way from North avenue to Navy Pier in lake Michigan. It was AWESOME!!
The best night that I’ve had in Chicago and the prettiest view of downtown.
Once we got to the lake we stopped to watch the beautiful fireworks display celebrating Labor Day. We were talking about doing this for a while, but due to my trips we kept on postponing it. The wait was totally worth it. Navy Pier has a firework show every Wednesday and Saturday during the summer, but we got to see the special one for Labor Day on a Sunday. It was really beautiful and a lot of fun. If I’m still in Chicago next summer I will certainly join the kayaking team, since I met some of the members and they invited me. That’ll be a lot of fun and GOOD exercise too!!!
