Getting together with friends is the same no matter where you are!

Carrie introduced me to more of her friends last night. Loads of guys she went to Purdue College with. We had such a great night and it was just like being back at home with friends. First we all went to this guy Ron's house and he had cooked a yummy dinner. Carrie then introduced me to the delights of Scotch –A- Roo’s! It's the most yummy desert but god only knows how many calories are in it!

1 cup white karo syrup

We then sat around drinking and playing card games. I learnt how to plays 'Kings' and didn't do too badly!
Once we had got through most of the drink at Ron's we headed over to a bar in Lincoln Park - The Lion's Head. It's really cool you can buy long tubes of beer which sits in a little cone holder on the tables. It has a tap on it so you and your friends don't have to keep going to the bar.

The whole night was really fun - slightly hazy from The Lion's Head onwards however and HANGOVER CENTRAL this morning!!!!
