A two leg domestic flight via Atlanta saw us arrive in
Chicago in the late arvo. My first
impression of the roads, the traffic and the Chicago skyline was that of
Melbourne – many similarities. But once in town it was more like a mini New
York. It took us almost an hour and a
half to find our condo at the south end of Grant Park, from where our huge
windows look across acres of parkland to the city skyline – just like the
brochure said!
It didn’t take us long to find a Giordano Pizza shop a few
minutes down the road – a Chicago style deep dish pizza was sucked down in no
time before a bit of a walk along the length of the park. However our walk was
cut short as we experienced our first real rain thus far, only a shower, but
enough to wet the hair haha.
As I type this we are happily sitting in our comfy chairs
overlooking this great North American city thru our oversized windows, while
you guys continue to suffer cold and dreary days. With daily temps to be in the
high 20’s, and minimums around the high teens, it is a significant change to
the very high temp’s of the last 12 days or so. With todays slower pace and
(almost AFD), maybe our overwrought bodies can recover a little.
Thinking of ya'awl.
