Day 30 - Minneapolis, MN to Madison, WI to Chicago, IL

Overslept purposefully this morning. When Bri couldn’t even keep her eyes open after multiple alarms, she allowed us to sleep in. The hotel compensated for its outdated rooms and furniture with the best free breakfast we’ve encountered so far. Bri decided that Midwe...

Thankfully our last early wake up! We were picked up by Richard's dad very early in the morning, and after stopping by the hotel they had been staying in to pick up Richard's Mom and Janelle we set off for the airport. Richard's parents and Janelle were booked on a flight back to Dallas leaving a little after ours so we all checked in together a...

I fixed the Peanuts comic strip link I have received several inquiries as of late along the lines of, Heather are you still alive over there in Chicago?! And the answer is, yes I am, I just haven't updated this blog in a while! You could say that I have fallen into the abyss that is a Chicago winter, but not in the way that most Chicagoans appar...

Thanks to everyone for all the love and support during this little adventure of mine. I didn't come back feeling the way I thought I would feel after a trip like this, which is why it has taken me so long to finish what I started. First, I'll start where I left off in the story. I arrived in Bangkok in the middle of the night by bus. The bus rid...

Hvis man spørger Thomas, så var det her nok den mest hårrejsende dag indtil videre. Den første dag Sussi skulle sidde bag rattet. Vi startede ud med at køre en omgang på parkeringspladsen ved hotellet, køre en tur til det lokale mall i Mishawaka og shoppe lidt. Købte brændbare cd'er i Sears, makeup til Sussi i Sephora, solbriller (fake fendi og ...

I am on the planne back to chicago right now and am already missing Rome and the rest of Italy. It was an adventure I will never forget. It did cut my pockets short, but in return I have an everlasting memory. For some days I felt like I was in the past myself. I could feel a different sensation while I was at the historical landmarks. History t...

Day 19: Chicagoland Day 19: Chicagoland States covered: IL (really just Chicagoland) Miles: Approx. 75 Highlights: Chicago museums campus; Oak Park Abby meltdowns: 1 at the end of the day - perhaps we weren't in the car long enough today Weather: Overcast and warm; though breezy and a bit cool along Lake Michigan Phrase of the day: "Return to th...

For some reason neither of could sleep on the train to Chicago, maybe it was because Janet wasn't on the train so we didn't have the luxury of 2 seats and 2 pillows, either way when the train pulled into a dark, wet Chicago, we weren't in the best of moods to say the least! 24 hours on a train is bad enough at the best of times! We were taking a...

Early awakening and off to Urbis Orbis via CTA the Steve Hey way. We met Mitch Covic at the coffee house and discussed the role of art in our lives and various works that have touched us in one way or another. Then we met with the owner of Orbis and he described the history, sociology, and culture of Wicker Park. It seems that the art community ...
