久しぶりだね(it's been a while)。Lately I haven't been feeling that well but it looks like I'm on the mend so back to the regular run of things, homework, chores and for right now blogging.
Here in Chicago it had cooled down for about two days. And though it's quite cloudy it is still very humid and hot. And misty. Usually we can see quite far but now many of the buildings and part of the shore is obscured by the thick white fog.

But that doesn't keep people from the lake. Last weekend part of the lake was crowded with boats linked together and each boat full of people.

  

Besides all the tourists coming into the city to do who knows what in this heat, nothing has really been happening in Chicago. We're all just passing the time until it gets a little cooler so that we can walk about this city and do all the sight-seeing had yet to get to. 

This coming weekend, weather permitting, we're planning to go to the botanical gardens about an hours drive out of the city. It's actually not that far away, but with traffic it takes that long. 

Hopefully we can get to the gardens while the flowers are still in bloom!

今日はこの辺ね、じゃね。
