Baseball

We had a pretty kick ass day today. Cam was complaining last night about the fatness and ugliness of people here, as well as their lack of fashion but I explained to him that all we'd done was hang out in Bolingbrook and Johnny's neighborhood, Pulaski, neither of which are where the wealthy are. Today we got to show him the more wealthy side. We went to brunch at a Mexican place, he had the fajitas, althoug he said the quesadilla looked better. Then we went downtown and got some tickets for Wicked for next Friday and got to check out a lot of cool buildings with Johnny.

Cam had a blast taking pictures. We walked through Millenium Park and saw Buckingham Fountain after going through a sea of people at the Taste. There were some pretty awesome sights. Cam said there were people from so many countries around he didn't even know what countries they were from. We said that's America. Last night I was telling him the reason it's so hard to answer people's questions about the US, because a lot of the times I don't know the answer. For example, what's an American wedding like?

After walking around we took a train to the baseball field where I got to teach Cam baseball, we both think it's slightly dul and the other team won but we still had fun. Afterwards we got to watch the fireworks which I enjoyed even though Cam said they weren't as good as Chinese. Yesterday we walked around, taught Cam a bit of how to swing, what a mailbox is, how we deliver newspapers here and about an American mall, his favorite so far is Macy's.
