Arrival - 8am Friday Central time at Midway Airport
Treck on subway to Ryan's appartment - about half hour
Walking around confused with a poor sense of direction - unmeasured time
Chicago is not warm in August, it feels like fall in NC
It has a river that is an unnatural greenish/blue beautiful color
It has many tall buildings, but all in one spot (the "loop"), after that, the city spreads out like gridlock lights.
Not much traffic
Great to bike and run along the lake-front
Not great to swim in (we only made it up to our knees in the water - like ice)
the Art Institute is great
there is live music and concerts every night somewhere
It will not always be this wonderful here ... it will get cold ... very cold.
