Chicago


This weekend I went to Chicago to visit Noel. I flew out there Friday and we spent the week biking around and seeing the city. Friday we visited with some of Noels friends and borrowed a bike from Dinah so I could bike around. Saturday we explored the city seeing the Bean, and going up in the John Hancock Tower, drinking Ghirardelli milkshakes and eating some deep dish pizza! We met up with a few of Noel’s friends and Mina. Sunday we did some more exploring, out in Devon (a little India area) and then some vintage shop hopping (I replaced my jean jacket that I was super sad about losing) and then met up with Melanie and Jenny from Americorps.
 
Monday we took a train to Indiana to go to a Hawaiian themed dinner party with Noel’s friends. Then Tuesday we took the train back to Chicago. Noel had to work so I went to the art Museum, then got dinner with Stephen (another Americorps buddy) and then found a Bikram yoga studio. I also was able to successfully navigate the city all by myself! Wednesday I flew back to Denver, with plenty of time to go to work L. Chicago was a pretty cool place, but it was super crowded with people, and all the drivers honk their horns super loud, all the time! I’m super glad I got to visit Noel and meet her friends and see where she lives and hang out in the city, but not enough to drop everything I’m doing and move there.
