Beautiful Day
Jun. 30th, 2006 12:47 pmI was gone yesterday, did you notice? ;-)
Hubby and I went to Chicago for the day. I'll write more about what we did there another time, but I just wanted to share a few things that made it especially special.
1. We ate real Pakistani food in a real Pakistani restaurant -- the kind where the cook comes and sits with you and talks in Urdu because he considers you a friend -- and it was delicious!
2. I got to sit and converse in Urdu with a woman and her daughter and it was fun -- I discovered I haven't forgotten anything, even after 3 years of not speaking Urdu on a daily basis.
3. The weather was gorgeous and just the right amount of warm. We ended the day with a walk on the lakefront and the breeze was lovely.
4. I found something in one of the shops that was a total nostalgia trip:
5. On the way home, the traffic was a bit fierce -- but as the sun went down, we heard the following U2 song on the radio, and it put everything in perspective:
It was a very good day.
