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......

Photo shoot

Cheane did a photo shoot for a new hair product they got in the Salon, called 24k Gold.

I even helped........

Milwaukee '09 Day 1 & 2

Travelled to Milwaukee yesterday to come visit Cheane and Kirstyn. Got up at 5:30 UK time, flew from London Heathrow to Toronto in Canada. From the another flight to Chicago and then a bus to Milwaukee.

The weather is great, about 28 degrees with blue skies and sunshine!! When I finally got to bed last night I was awake for 26 hours, in an effort to BEAT THE JET LAG!


Check out American Suburbia - it's right out of Desperate Housewives!!!


All of Cheane's friends just love my accent......it's so funny.
Or like they say: "
That's Hilarious!! or Awesome!!"
(say it with the yankee accent....)

Today we went down to Lake Michigan - which is only 5 minutes from Cheane's house. It's so big, its like the sea. I think England will fit in lake Michigan.

Tonight we might just go down to the Summer Fest to see a couple of bands play.

Britain's Got Talent

After a lovely Champagne breakfast for Leon's 35th Birthday, Dad, Mom and I went to see the Britains got Talent road show at Wembley Arena on Sunday 22 June!! So much fun!!!

Great to see all the amazing acts live in action!

The Arena is right next to the world famous Wembley Football Stadium
