Hi Adrian here again. Renae and I have different impressions of our time in Chicago IL and Medina OH so she may add to this later. For now, here are my Chicago highlights:
- Catching up with friends. It was so great to see the friends I'd made in Bolivia and to introduce them to Renae who they knew of in 2008 but had never met. They were all really generous in hosting us.
- A sail on Lake Michigan with friends provided a beautiful new perspective on the city we had been exploring.
- Chicago White Sox vs Minnesota Twins major league baseball. great atmosphere, great game that went right down to the final inning where the home team needed extra time to avoid a 10th inning. They got it!
- Cheesecake at the top of the John Hancock building. Sears was a bit expensive and we got a hot tip about free entry to the top of Chicago's 2nd tallest if you went to the lounge rather than the observation deck.
During our time in the Chicago area we also took a rental car down to explore Ohio and to catch up with another friend. We saw fire flies for the first time! We also went to Amish country and were able to meet our friend's family, so it was a great few days.
It all sounds like you had a great experience. I must read up on fire flies. Cheese cake will no doubt always remind you of Chicago. Dad.
