Camp Part IV

Right now its about 3 am and I am sitting in Karen's basement.

Wow, what a last few days!

Tuesday was packing day. We also allowed the campers to stay up late since it was their last night in camp. Yesterday we were up bright and early and had everyone loaded on buses to their various destinations. I went to Chicago for the two days between the sessions of camp. I, along with some of my fellow counselors, am staying at one of my co-counselor's house. Today we went to downtown. It was pretty cool. Out of the whole group I was the only non-hebrew speaker. I really need to start working on it. Although, I could understand most of the conversations.

So downtown was cool. We went down Madison and Michagan, had some good food, and of course we went to Millenium Park. We would have seen more but it started raining like crazy.

After downtown, we took a train back to Highland Park where Karen lives. The two blocks from the station to her house was one of those silly moments I won't forget. We got off the train and it was raining harder than before. Part of the group started going the wrong direction, so we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off. When we finally got to Karen's we are all soaking wet and the other half of the group is waiting at the station for Karent to come and pick them up.

Once the rain fiasco was over, Liron, Natalie, Karen, and I head to Karen's best friend's birthday party. It was nice to meet some non-camp people.

Besides all that fun stuff, we have done a ton of laundry and eaten way too much. Thanks for having us Karen!

Tomorrow we have to be in Skokie about 9:30 to do some shopping at Old Orchard before taking the bus back to camp.


P.S.
Becasue of silly computer issues, I am having problems uploading pics. However, there are some on the facebook page.
