Kittens Abroad!

Once upon a time in Amsterdam, in a gezellig bar in the Jordaan, on a certain girl’s B-Day…

One of Prinses Eva’s best buds, the beautiful and brilliant Anna, asked my advice on which city in the U.S. she should go to for an internship. Her choices were Atlanta or Chicago.

Y’all KNOW my answer, right?!?

I’ve been to Atlanta, it’s cool

But, I’m actually from Chicago, so my recommendation was clear and unambiguous!

And that’s where she is right now! :)

So I sent her a list of a bunch of stuff she should try to do before she came back home, turns out that she’s been running it as a checklist! (Me=SO proud!)

Hey Todd!

We’ve done the Hancock Building! We were there just in time to see day turn into evening (beautiful sunset!!!). And Second City has been real good fun! Loads of Obamajokes. Unfortunately they don’t do tours of Wrigley Field off season (which, you’re right, starts in April, so we’re going to miss it; leaving March 27). We ate the deep dish…  Read More pizza (my God, good they do doggybags here). Seen the Blackhawks play (which was great fun) and Chicago Bulls (a little more boring).

STILL LOVING CHICAGO!!!

Don’t you miss it??? xxx

My Response:

Let’s see: Could I be ANY prouder of you?!? NO! :) I’m SO honored that you followed a bunch of my suggestions! (Especially when I told you that I thought you’d love it there… Remember?)

Welcome to a tiny bit of MY Chicago, kitten!

Do I miss home? I might be starting to… DAMNIT! ;) XXX

PS: How are ya liking that weather??? *snicker*

Getting to share my hometown with Anna might just be one of the very coolest things I’ve ever done from here, Campers!

YAY!

    Hey Todd! Wow! I am now a blogspot, and simply because I am having TONS of fun! :) Yes, I definitely remember you telling me at Eva’s b’day dinner that I would LOVE Chicago; and you were so right. Love the people, love the buildings, love the lakefront, love the theaters… Too bad this is going to end! :( xxxx from Chi-town!
