Sweet My Home For a Week Chicago

Two days ago I hit the road with my roommate Alex and headed for Chicago. Alex, for any of you reading who don't know me, is my best friend at Brandeis. He's from Chicago and we are spending the week at his parent's house. The road trip here was fun. There isn't too much between the east coast and Chicago. The middle of Pennsylvania is scary. It seems very removed from the modern age and I really think its where you go if you don't want to be found. Alex and I stopped at a rest stop and we were very clearly the "city folk" that just didn't belong. We stayed the night outside of Cleveland and pushed through today to Chicago. This picture is from my car as we entered the city and were welcomed by the Chicago skyline. We're going to be all over the place this week. Tomorrow we're going to meet up with my long time friend Ed and have a night out on the town. Ed is featured earlier in my blogging career. Look back to the picture of him sleeping from an earlier post. We're going to hit the major museums in the city, take a trip to the Budweiser plant in Milwaukee and visit the Indiana Sand dunes. Apparently they shipped alot of sand into Indiana to create a desert park out of sand. There are large hills that people slide down and even surf. I'll probably report on this at a later date. More later, so long for now blog!
