Some Chicago experiences in no particular order:
Had a deep-dish pizza
Saw ice on Lake Michigan
Listened to ice on Lake Michigan
Got snowed on
Met Eden @everymanpdf and had a lovely chat
Bought fancy tea while chatting with Eden
Had a gimlet that was a bit stronger than I usually make them and once I was back in the hotel room scrolling etc. noticed I was getting very giggly at things that were really just mildly amusing
Saw my friend my new best friend Sue the T-Rex
Saw my beautiful silver wife the Pioneer Zephyr again
Looked at the Bean
Made a pilgrimage to Wrigley Field
Bought a Cubs-branded cap and baseball because I'm a sucker
Threw a snowball at my dad
Rode the L
Rode the bus
Walked round in circles, in the snow, trying to find a bus stop
Saw Nighthawks again
Had an almost constant not-quite-nosebleed from the minute I got on the plane until the minute I landed back in the UK from all the dry air
Got fucked around by Icelandair at the last minute
Got rescued at the last minute by Air Canada
Got stuck in Toronto for 5+ hours
Admired Chicago cultural centre and puppets
Took full advantage of my 7-day travel pass and rode the L to go look at Union Station because I had an hour to kill
Was the bravestest boy in the world and flew back by myself
Didn't get jet-lagged either way
#great city marvellous city a proper city#we've been enjoying the fancy tea#that gimlet was either a double or just a much higher ratio of gin to lime (i usually make it 50:50- the terry lennox)#i'm obsessed w holding this baseball and tossing it about it feels so good in the hands#i forgot what a shit movie selection ba has when i was booking my return flight#pointless post
