Day 41

Home again, home again. Had a great time this weekend, but always great to be home again. And The Bean is obviously very happy to have me home, too:

Mom and I learned a whole new language this weekend. The voice on my smart phone's GPS (we've named her Navagita) has some interesting ways of pronouncing certain words. Here's a brief glossary of terms taught to us by Navagita:

• Olmachenrie (Old McHenry) - a road somewhere near our hotel
• Ectoplasm or Advertising or Apocalyptic (Aptakisic) - another road near our hotel that we traveled down once and could never find again
• Fowrick (fork) - as in "keep left at the fowrick"
• Hilannoise (Illinois) - the state in which Chicago is situated
  

Of course, the best thing Navagita ever says is "You have arrived."
