Day 1

Well here we are in the comfortable city of Chicago! A short flight, long train ride, and very humid walk to the hostel. So far, checking into the hostel went smoothly. We napped, toured the hostel, and now find ourselves eating Mexican fast food at Qdoba Mexican Grill who also serve up free wireless internet in a nice refreshing air conditioned atmosphere. Quite satisfying. As it turns out, we are now waiting out heavy rain from thunder storms that are passing through. Hopefully the weather lets up a little for us to go downtown this evening to catch the sunset from atop the Sears Tower, and walk around the harbourfront, saving ourselves from the day's heat.

We're feeling great although we are suffering from some technical issues. Please bear with us until we have some new and exciting pics and stories for you.

Thanks everyone for wishing us well! Tune in again soon.
