Last night we went to bed at 10pm, I slept through the night, finally waking/getting up just before 6am. Teresa got up at 7:15.
I put her towel in the dryer so when she came out of the shower
she had a warm towel. She loved that.
We left at 8:30 and stopped for breakfast at Elly’s Pancake House on Milwaukee in Glenview. The waitress was Mexican so she helped a lot with Teresa’s order. Teresa had an egg skillet and hash browns, toast with a side of sausage links. I had 2 eggs over easy with hash browns, pancakes and sausage links. We both agreed the hash browns were better at the Niles Diner. Of course, we both had coffee. The total came to $40.66 which I put on my Mastercard.
We drove to the Chicago Botanic Garden where it cost $10 for parking and we got lucky because today was one of the 3 free entrance days they have each year. It was a lot of walking but she enjoyed everything and said it’s 4-5 times larger than Jardin de Botanico in Medellin.
I drove us to Whole Foods where we each had a bowl of
minestrone soup and oyster crackers for $11.88.
She shopped in Old Orchard on her “impossible quest” for a purse/bag to hold her craft supplies. The closest so far is Vuori in Old Orchard for $88.
She wanted ice cream so we stopped in Oberweis Dairy in Glenview for cups of ice cream.
We each had single scoops, vanilla for her and butter pecan
for me.
We returned to the apt for a few minutes to change clothes and wash up before we left at 6pm. I drove us to Medieval Times in Schaumburg and we got seats in the 3rd row. I took a number of videos and sent a few to Laura.
Our dinner consisted of tomato soup, garlic bread, baked
chicken wing and breast, half a baked potato, and a small chocolate éclair and
a choice of drink. Teresa loved the show and several times said, “los niños son
felices”.
It was over by 8:15 and we returned to the apt.
Teresa just pointed out that the Pantene shampoo I
bought in Walmart is actually conditioner. ☹
After conversing with our host, it turns out what I thought
was a heater is an air purifier. I finally found the small heater in a window
well.
FUNNY
