Chicago photos - continued

Remember I said my camera broke and I had to take some of my photos on my phone. Well, it has taken me half the night to figure out how to get these downloaded, but finally I managed.

Independance Day


We went to the Cedarburg 4th of July parade, where Cheane and Kirstyn grew up. All 11,000 people of the time come together to watch the annual parade.




Afterwards we went to some friends of Frank and Charnelle's for a braai.

Great Day!

Charnelle's 50th




On Friday 3 July we celebrated Charnelle's 50th. Frank, Charnelle, Kirstyn, Cheane and me went to dinner at Sabor. There's a salad bar which you help yourself to, and waiters walking around with skewers of meat which they carve right into your plate. Similar to The Carnivore in Jo'burg. Anything from Sirloin Steak to leg of Lamb. mmmmmm - Delicious. I overate! We celebrated over a glass of champagne.

Afterwards we went to a Piano bar in the Third Ward in downtown Milwaukee. There some friends of the family joined for drinks.

Chicago - My kind of Town


On Wednesday I took the Amtrak train to Chicago, to go see the city Frank Sinatra sang about. What a beautiful place! The weather was pretty bad, but that didn't stop me. Unfortunately my camera broke halfway through the day, so I had to take the rest of the photos on my phone, which I am not able to download at the moment, but will get them up as soon as I can......
