Hanging out in Chicago

Today Sean and I went to downtown Chicago and explored for a while. We went to Wrigley park and walked around. We then went to Millenium park. It had this really awesome mirror bean thingy. The pictures do it more justice then I can explain.

It was fun just walking around and seeing Chicago. The vibe in Chicago is much more laid back then towns like New York. I would say it much calmer then San Fransciso. Although it is a very big city it doesn’t feel overcrowded at all. The public transit is efficient and runs until 2 am and starts back up again at 5 am.

One of the things about Chicago during this time of year is the color of the trees. The leaves have an amazing yellow color to them. I also like walking around and seeing all the leaves that have fallen on the ground. There are some sidewalks that are flooded with leaves.



Arriving in Chicago

I got to Chicago at about 4:00 pm and took the CTA (this is their public transportation). My buddy Sean grabbed me at the Belmont Station and then took me to his place.

Sean and I met in Kindergarten. In first grade an event occurred that set the base for a friendship that would last to this day. I fell in love with his cousin. I don’t remember the exact events but I do know that in my first grade head I felt feelings for this 2^nd grade woman that I had never felt. I outwardly responded like any first grader in love would… I explained to Sean that I hated his cousin and she was the ugliest person I had ever seeing in my life. After a series of insults thrown at his cousin Sean understood exactly what I meant. He ran over to his cousin during recess and informed her that I was in love with her and wanted to marry her.

So here I stand in Chicago visiting my friend Sean. Him and his wife Chayada bought a nice place in the Lakeview/Rosco village area.

When I first got to town Sean had a class. He dropped me at his place and I took a run around town and read at his place.

This is my sleeping quarters. This bed is insanely comfortable
