We took an early morning trip into Chicago so Takako could go to Dylan's Candy Bar. She saw the store when she went downtown with B and friends after school last Thursday, but they ran out of time before being able to shop there.
Since they were able to go to Water Tower Place that day, we skipped it today, but had to stop for a photo op of the historic water tower.
We had lunch at Giordano's. This time we ordered thin pizza since we had deep-dish last week. Takako wanted to get BBQ chicken and onions on it (I settled for half onions) and it was really good. We also had a sausage pizza. Plenty of leftovers! She said she liked the thin crust better than the deep dish. Guess that big ole pie is an acquired taste.
The students had their farewell dinner and party tonight. Here's Takako giving us a heartfelt thank-you speech.
L was crying before Takako ever got up to give her speech. Here L is giving her a big hug.
Before leaving the party (to go to one of the student's houses for more socializing), they all got together for a big group photo. I think I better take a lot of tissues to the airport tomorrow for L.
