Friday night date night…revised…

I planned a boat cruise on Lake Michigan, but due to traffic and the staff of the boat (who was still docked when we arrived, but refused to let us on because it was 5mins after departure time…even though they hadn’t departed) we missed the boat and were left with no plans but a time gap to fill. Tyler could see I was mad and upset that we had missed the special date I had tried to plan, so he suggested that we go see Comedy Sportz, which is an improv show that we have previously gone to, and one that I love! There are two teams of three that compete against each other in various categories of comedy games, with a different crowd and different teams every time it’s always new and funny material.

After that we had planned to meet up with some of my au pair friend to watch the SA vs Fiji game (yes, I’m still a real safa girl!) There was Lara from New Zealand (Rugby World Cup 2011 host nation), Michelle from SA, Jenny, Sophie and Katrina from Germany and Katrina’s husband and Tyler, the USA boys. So a huge amount of people that understand the whole concept as well as technicalities of the game, but enough girls that know Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika to sing it loud and proud! The bartender/part owner David is an English boy so he was also pretty involved in the game too. It was really great to have a little piece of home in the far away country.
