4th of JULY in CHICAGO

This experience started yesterday when we went out to have dinner in a marvellous restaurant called Alhambra where we also danced Salsa. During the dinner Judy reminded us that the 4th of July they celebrate the Independance of the United States of America from England. To be ready to celebrate the 4th of July, Judy put a flag of the USA in the building, near the entrance of the house. 

And the 4th of July arrived and we went to a barbecue with Judy, her sister-in-law and her niece. There, in the barbecue, we met a lot of wonderful people that were very friendly. Some of them knew Spain and knew a few Spanish  words that practiced with us. We really had a good time in the barbecue and the food was delicious. I ate a cheeseburger with chips and after that strawberries, watermelon and grapes. Everything tasted really good.

Later, we went to a beach and we bathe in the lake, it was what we really wanted after supporting 100ºF during all day. In a restaurant called "the Dock" that is near the lake we had dinner and we met another Spanish girl called Maria who lives in Chicago since the year 2000. We really have a good time with her.

At the end of the day, at about 21.30 we saw the fireworks and listened a low music that we had on the right. The fireworks were the perfect end to a perfect day.


Thank you Ana, Bella and Judy for this great day!!
