Camp Firebelly 2011

This is the first day we have had with nothing planned for us, a nice long break with a much needed morning full of sleeping in. After a late start we went out around noon to enjoy the gorgeous weather.

At around noon we the campers split up, some of us heading over to the Gay Pride parade, and the rest of us wandering throughout the city. We started at a car show at Humboldt Park full of Low Riders and the intoxicating smell of Puerto Rican food.

The next stop was downtown, which consisted of potbelly sandwiches and Millennium Park. The Bean was quick, but the main attraction was acting like 6 year olds, barefoot at the Crown Fountain.

The final stop of the day out was the beach. Although it turned out to be incredibly tough to find a frisbee to toss around, we completed our mission and ended up all together at the Oak Street with a frisbee and a volleyball. Frisbee turned out to be our forte, while our attempts at volleyball must have seemed pathetic at best (although to be fair, certain individuals actually knew what they were doing). Regardless, lots of running and falling around was indeed fun, and after a couple hours we headed back to the studio.

I must say thank you to Dawn Hancock for a delicious Indian meal from Jaipur, which was our dinner destination at 7pm. We were all tired, and all satisfied and finished the night back at the Firebelly Studio with a combination of mario cart, rooftop chatting and lots and lots of facebook.

That was our break, and we now have our final days to look forward to.

But first, sleep.
