Igar tog vi taget in till Chicago City. Vi fick chansen att ga till Chicago Board Options Exchange (cboe) vilket var valdigt haftigt, update om det kommer imorgon. Vi hade tankt att ga till ett museum, men klockan hade blivit ratt sen efter en lunch pa Miller’s Pub, sa vi gick runt i city en stund. Varje gang vi ar i Chicago vill jag garna ga till kaffe kedjan Caribou Coffee, men till min stora besvikelse har de nu lagt ner alla Caribou i Illinois. Vi hittade tillslut ett bakery, jag bestallde en latte och det var det varsta jag sett (om jag hade serverat en kaffe sa nar jag jobbade som barista hade jag fatt sparken direkt). 
Vi gick till marknaden med stadens Christmas Tree vid Daley Plaza. Vi fick aran att vara en del av Jim’s kompis som friade till sin tjej vid granen ♥ Vi gomde oss i folkmassan och nar hon hade sagt ja kom vi fram och gratulerade dem. Efterat akte vi till en champagne bar for att fira dem. 

Yesterday we took the train in to Chicago City. We got the chance to go to Chicago Board Options Exchange (cboe) which was very cool, update about that will come tomorrow. We wanted to go to a museum, but is was so late after we had lunch at Miller’s Pub, so we walked around the city for a while. Every time we are in Chicago I like to go to Caribou Coffee, but to my disappointment they had now closed down all Caribou in Illinois. We finally found a bakery, I ordered a latte and it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen (if I had served a coffee like that when I worked as a barista, I would get fired immediately). 
We went to the market with the city Christmas Tree by Daley Plaza. We got the honor to be a part of Jim’s friend that proposed to his girl by the tree ♥ We were hiding in the crowd and when she had said yes we came forward and congratulated them. After that we went to a champagne bar to celebrate them.

Jag tog med mig kameran och akte upp till Times Square. Om tva dagar slapps nya World of Warcraft och de promotar nu det pa TS. Jim sag en bild pa det imorse och jag blev sa nyfiken att jag akte dit. Inte for att jag ar ett stort WOW fan, har bara spelat det nagra ganger, men jag tycker anda att karaktarerna och varldarna ar coola. 

I took my camera with me and went up to Times Square. In two day the new World of Warcraft releases and they are now promoting it on TS. Jim saw a picture of it this morning and I got so curious that I went there. Not because I’m a big WOW fan, have only played it a few times, but I think the characters and the worlds are cool.

Nar vi kom hem fran Soho, gick vi en lang promenad med Thor langs Hudson River. Underbart vader! Han ar sa duktig pa att ga langt. Ganska mycket folk ute idag, bade som shoppade i soho och som promenerar vid Hudson, vilket ar lite jobbigt ibland nar de inte tittar vart de ska. Jag ar radd att nagon cyklist (eller en barnvagn) ska kora pa Thor en dag. Folk kollar ju inte vart de gar. Turister ser inget annat an utsikten (det kan man ju forsta…det ar ju New York 🙂 ) och det ar flera ganger som jag har fatt plocka upp Thor i mina armar for att han inte ska bli trampad pa. 
Harligt var det iaf. Man maste ju passa pa att njuta nu innan den riktiga hosten och vintern kommer. 

When we came home from Soho, we went for a long walk with Thor along Hudson River. Wonderful weather! He is so good to go for longer walks. A lot of people outside today, both that was shopping in soho and that was walking by Hudson, which is a little annoying sometimes when they don’t look where they are going. I’m afraid that some biker (or stroller) will hit Thor one day. People are not looking where they are walking. Tourists don’t see anything else but the view (and that I can understand…this is New York 🙂 ) and there has been several times I had to pick Thor up in my arms to avoid him getting stepped on. 
It was lovely though. You have to take advantage of this before the real autumn and the winter comes.  

Animals in Mexico

Vi aker snart pa semester. Det blir inga palmer eller hoga plusgrader, men sa trevligt det ska bli! Fika fika fika! Mys pa Stockholms uteserveringar. Gott kaffe! Promenader langs vattnet. Turistande. Oh, sa harligt det kommer bli!
Pa tal om semester sa har jag nagra bilder som jag inte har visat er fran Mexico. Vi sag ju bl.a en del djur dar. Sag fram emot (och samtidigt inte) att se deras apor, men de hade rymt. Jag hoppas de mar bra! 

We are going on vacation soon. No palm trees or high temperature, but it will be so nice! Fika fika fika! Cozy at Stockholm’s outdoor servings. Great coffee! Walks along the water. Tourism. Oh, so lovely it will be!
Speaking of vacation, I have some pictures I haven’t showed you from Mexico. We saw among other things a lot of animals there. Was looking forward to (and also not) see their monkeys, but they had escaped. I hope they are ok!
