yeah festivals!

So this weekend was pretty good. There are many festivals every weekend in Chicago, and this past weekend there was the World Music Festival, The Celtic Festival, and a Cheesecake Festival. On Saturday i headed to the conservatory with Rachel, Caitlyn, and Kevin. It is only 5 blocks from my house. I went there to hear a musical group from Africa. They were part of the World Music Festival. I really enjoyed their music, it was very distinct in sound, and just so much fun to listen to. At the conservatory there was also a "country fair," going on and on the banner there was a chicken, but in real life there weren't even any chickens there... but they had some ponies that kids were riding. It just made me laugh at how they tried to countrinize(i'm pretty sure i just made this word up, but don't worry it's ok) the city. I also checked out the European fair at the conservatory, and i bought a few things:)After debating forever on what to eat we chose to buy tacos(i know. i, melina ate mexican.) The tacos were 2 stinkin dollars and they were sooo little. I was still hungry but i decided not to buy any more food because we were headed to the Cheesecake festival. It took us quite a while to get there, because it was way out in the suburbs. When we arrived i signed up to get a free cheesecake, but i was dissapointed because we could only get 1 free. I sort of expected it to be more of sampling different kinds of cheesecake. So after a long day we went home, and watched the first half of Annie. Yesterday was church day. I went to a church down the road, and lets just say it was very interesting... Then in the afternoon i went to Megan's ordination. She is the pastor at the Mennonite church next door. The service was beautiful and after the service we ate an amazing Indian dinner. So that is basically a summary of my weekend. oh i almost forgot... yeah Steelers!!! they won as well...
