a busy banana sunday

after church on sunday, we met up with my friend chris, who was visiting for the weekend. after a late lunch at ‘quartino’ in downtown, we took a quick walk around millenium park; christmas lights and the outdoor ice skating rink were already all set up.

afterwards, joe and i headed off to the historic chicago theatre to catch a new cirque du soleil show called “banana shpeel”. the theatre was really nice… but unfortunately the show was a bit disappointing, despite the interesting vaudeville show concept.

in fact, the caramelized banana and vanilla gelato dessert we had at lunch was probably a lot more satisfying…!
