Chicago


We awakened in the morning to our neighbor yelling obscenities and her children crying and a hearty breakfast of muffins was enough to get us going for the day. So we drove into the city and after spending 45 minutes looping back and forth on the highways, we were able to find the parking garage. 3 hrs were spent in the Field Mueseum. To be honest, some of the exhibits we saw were nothing of special. We did, however, wonder upon an exhibit displaying a number of different animals found around the world. In the exhibit we found the lions in the film Ghost in the Darkness. The lions were guilty of killing something like 40 people, a strange feat for animals that normally aren't guilty of devouring humans, but these man-eaters owned a proud trophy room of human bones to be found in a cave. We then ventured to Pizzeria Uno which is the original home of the deep dish pizza. James and I shared pepperoni pizza (which was delicious). Chicago was nice as a whole. I was blown away the concept of Lake Michigan. When you look at the lake, it's like an ocean; as far as you can see is the lake. It looks exactly like the ocean. We are now on the border of Wisconsin and Illinois. The room we are in is... a downgrade from last night? The door to the outside doesn't really close all the way. There isn't a door to the bathroom. I'll post a picture of the room when I can.
