Tens, Twenties, and Thirties in Chicago
/Hi Aja,
I wanted to update Caleb, Roman, and Juliette about Tens Twenties Thirties.
Tens Twenties Thirties has been busy! We went to Chicago in November and saw the homeland of their Michael Jordan jersey! We traveled overnight to Chicago on an airplane to see one of my friends from college, Beth. Chicago is 2 hours ahead of Oregon, so we arrived at 6 AM and went to my friend's condo. Then we left at 8 AM. To leave the condo, we had to ride in an elevator. We went down two floors and walked about ten minutes to an exercise class called "Orange Theory." Tens Twenties Thirties ran on a treadmill, rowed on a rowing machine, and lifted weights with a leader pushing them to work harder. It was so fun! We also went to a grocery store with a cow- Tens Twenties Thirties liked looking out the window at the cow.
The city is decorated for the holiday seasons, and Tens Twenties Thirties loved seeing all the decorations outside. Then we went to a high school football game. It was SO COLD! The game was intense and went into double overtime. Our team didn't win, but they played so hard!
In Chicago we drove around different neighborhoods, and the houses changed colors. A lot of the buildings are made of brick and are really close together. The last night we were in Chicago, we went to Salam, my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. We ate falafel, hummus, tabouli, baba ganouche with pita. YUMMM!!!!
The next morning, we flew home. In the airport, Tens Twenties Thirties helped me grade students' assignments and eat a chicken salad. We flew back to Oregon and went back to Pacific University!
Now we are in Hawai'i! Update to come soon!
Carrie and Tens Twenties Thirties
