This weekend didn't seem to be a good one as my for-one-month family was going out for the long weekend. But out of a sudden, a day-host, Karen, appeared and eventually I spent three great days.
On Saturday, I took the bicycle that my family had lent me and I cycled along the lake. I also jump into the water twice. I cannot use the verb “swim” because my two baths lasted less than three minutes. The first one, in the morning, I felt the water really cold.By the time I made my way to the water for the second time, the water had warmed up but I was afraid of leaving my bag alone on the sand. For me, being on my own with a bicycle is synonymous of happiness.
On Sunday, I met Karen and two other teachers at the Art Institute. Karen turned to be not only a great host but also a lover of art, so we had a lot of fun at the museum. Later on we went to the Botanic Gardens. They are splendid but too huge to be visited in just a couple of hours.
And the big day arrived. In the morning we did an architectural tour in Oak Park, again with Karen. In the evening, we went shopping to an outlet. I don't like going shopping very much (just sport items). But visiting an outlet in the US is one of the must-do things for a tourist. Finally I bought nothing but at least, I'm done with outlets. And to finish the weekend as well as it had started, we took part in the barbecue hosted by Alejandro's host.
Ana, I'm glad that your week-end turned out to be better than expected! :)

* Separate this into two sentences: I met Karen and two other teachers at the Art Institute. Karen turned to be not only a great host but also a lover of art, so we had a lot of fun at the museum.
