La Quinta Inn And Suites Chicago Downtown

After leaving the HD Museum in Milwaukee, it only took us a little over an hour to reach Chicago. The thing that bugged us on this stretch of road was that we needed to stop at many toll roads just to get us through I-90 and I-94. We thought they should name a road after us for all the tolls we paid. We stopped at Tank Noodle in Chinatown after getting this recommendation from Bryan ...

... town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the ...

Less than 12 hours before takeoff. Just about the point where the whole thing starts to feel like maybe-not-such-an-awesome idea. It's hard to leave everyone, and the reality we’re (if I can be bold enough to speak for us both) now confronted with is that life will keep edging forward after we leave, and there’s so much we don’t want to miss. Joyce’s back surgery. Olivia’s knee ...

... vistas no tienen comentarios. Los rascacielos se levantan ante el imponente lago Michigan, y, además, tuvimos el lujo de ver desde lo alto los ensayos del "Chicago Air and Water Show", un espectáculo aéreo que está teniendo lugar todo el fin de semana. De ahí, pasando por el Milenium Park, fui a casa a esperar a Raúl, que llegó muy puntual. La casa de Krisztina está a un paseo de la playa, que aunque sea de lago parece de mar. Impresionantes los monumentos andantes, ¿pero qu ...

... centre to the 94th floor. The view at the top is incredible - in one direction Lake Michigan stretches beyond the horizon, in the other the urban footprint of Chicago never seems to end. Certainly not for those with a fear of heights. Back on the ground we took a route up the Millenium Mile (Chicago's Oxford Street) and through downtown to the Millenium Park - currently hugely popular due to an attraction colloquially known as 'The Bean' which, certainly ...

... the hall, I was welcomed warmly by Anneloes, Vance, Shasta and Dakota. Dakota was the "shy boy" he didn't speak two words to me that night. I was dazed that after all the setbacks I was finally able to make it to Bozeman and finally meet the Morosi family. I was exhausted but extremely relieved to finally be here. After collecting my bags the family took me to my new home for a year and to my room. I think I fell asleep even before my head hit the pillow.

There are two reactions I get when I tell people about this trip: One is "Wow - what an amazing experience that's going to be! I wish I could go" The second (and this often follows the first) is upon learning that I am traveling alone. It's not usually what people say that give it away, but the incredulous tone of their voices as they raise their eyebrows when I respond with "Myself" to their inevitable question about ...
