Day Three

Day # 3:

Day Three of my journey was spent in the beautiful city of Chicago with my good friend Shaunti. (Shout out to the Althoffs). Shaunti and I taught together in Mississippi and were often partners in crime at our former school.

Saturday we spent doing errands and site-seeing in Chicago. By site seeing I mean, I held onto the back of a scooter as she drove like a maniac through the busy streets at 40mph. Shaunti was a great driver, but she lacks the gene that regulates one's need for safety. It was my first time on a scooter and there is just something about holding on to two small handles on your side and knowing that if you let go you will be run over by the taxi behind you.

After our scooter adventure we met up with some of her friends for a sail on lake michigan. It was an amazing and relaxing day, despite almost ending it on the grill plate of a taxi.


Day # 4:

Sunday morning I went to Mass and then proceeded to drive for 7 1/2 hours until I reached Omaha. Below is a play by play account (begining one hour outside of Chicago)
