Don't tell ma, I smoked a hookah!

Josh and I were lucky enough to have a date on Saturday and we had such a good time! We went to the zoo and rented a swan shaped paddle boat. It was so pretty peddling around the little pond that I almost forgot we were in downtown Chicago. Unfortunately I decided to wear my "cute sandals" and got on heck of a blister on the bottom of my foot. I'm still paying the price for that decision. Oh the cost of looking pretty!

After our boat ride we went to The Sphinx Cafe in Niles for some middle eastern grub. (Check it out at http://www.sphinxcafe.com/index.html ) We got there just in time for the belly dancer. The food was really good and the prices were even better. After dinner we ordered up a hookah with strawberry flavored tobacco. I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew I had to try it since the opportunity was there. It was nothing like smoking a cigarette, rather it tasted like strawberry licorice. It was pretty cool, but don't tell my mama.
