Chicago

I'm about to head back to louisville from Chicago. Mom is doing a conference call before we go, and i'm all packed so I figured i'd jot down a  few things about my trip.

-Chicago is awesome.

-Chicago style pizza is delicious (but I still think NY style is a little better- chicago has a TON of cheese)

- The "el" is remarkably efficient. I think its one of the best modes of public transportation i've used. But then again, there's the being "el'-evated for the most part and not underground so that might have something to do with it. :-)

- the sears tower view= whoa.

-the hancock view- EVEN BETTER!

-navy pier ferris wheel- sooo schweeet!. it was pretty hilarious riding it with the rents because mom got "uncomfortable" because it is so high and moves so slow, so of course... DAD moves around and makes our cart sway. priceless. i love them

- the museums- glorious! between the u-boat, the t-rex, the sarcophagai,-- next time i'll take a whole week to visit them all

-the aquarium- loved it. there were starfish though, so what's not to love :)

- and the "magnificent mile"- its like rodeo drive, or 5th avenue, but in chicago- i got to go to tiffany and co., the american girl place, Lindt AND Ghiradelli (i love chocolate)... best ever

-and i got to spend time with the rents before leaving for the big KR.

on Kyrgyzstan: holy heart faiulre batman! I leave in 8 days!!!!!!!! but, i'm surprisingly calm about it, right now atleast. we'll see how that changes as the week progresses.

p.s. i'm still not packed. le sigh

well we gotta start our 5, no make that 6 hour drive (stupid time zones) so i'd better sign off.

Love from Chicago,

Jess
