Residence Inn Chicago Midway

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 ...

Leaving Memphis, we crossed over the bridge into Arkansas with Uncle Eddie in tow. Unbelievable fog stayed with us for a few hours and when the sun came through we found ourselves in Missouri and later on into Illinois. Ran across a town named Cooter. I think it was in Missouri. I think Pat and Peter will like that picture ...

... on film, the Chicago Tribune Tower, the Wrigley Building, Marina City and finally after a worthy twenty-minute cruise, arrive at the pier on South Wacker Drive and alight in the shadow of the Willis (Sears) Tower. Sears' naming rights expired in 2003, the building continued to be ...

... punk, Pepper: The cab ride from our house turned to be the first event with me hearing a horn blowing down the street after calling for a hack @ 1AM. Going out, yep, there's a cab wailing on the horn on the other end of the block. (I wonder what the folks in that house thouught...a crazed cabbie?) With a two handed wave in the street, I beckoned our ride down. the driver was a BIG guy, balding with a long pony tail. You've got to love a cabbie: long 12 hour (or more ...

... you've guessed it ANOTHER double cheeseberger, fries and cola!! I know, I know....BORING! Anyway, as we were just finishing our meal, Eileen noticed a waiter from the local Italian restaurant running up the street and the accosting a guy who had obviously been trying to do a runner. The waiter then gave the guy his bill and escorted him back into the restaurant for payment. I bet the guy felt ...

... the Nile….I’m eating Tapas in a Spanish café.

As I was packing up my classroom I took down the large sign that covers my entire wall over my bullet board and directly under my clock. I think it sums up my philosophy in life and my reasoning behind each and every adventure I take, so here I am world…what do you have for me to see…for me to feel….for me to discover…"Because, Life is Bigger than the World You Live In!”

... change. I know it's coming and I am both very excited and scared at the same time. It's exciting to know that you are venturing into something new and somewhat unknown. ( I have lived in York before.) I am also beyond scared of being completely alone. (Yes, I have tired to put my lab into my giant backpack). I just want a mean judgmental friend.. is that too much to ask for? "I'm leaving on jet plane don't know when I'll be back again"- How true that is.

Thank's to Jasna and her brother Tonci, I had again my own key to his Apartement. Located in Morden Street between the UIC campus and the Mexican area. The Apartment was Chiswick style and all the people very nice. The first thing I did in Chicago was going to a finance lesson at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) with Tonci: "Future value of the money" Well in my case there is no future money ...
