Sweet Home... Chicago

Before I start posting some Paris adventures (which hasn't really happened yet), I have some lingering feelings about Illinois. It was a nice little visit back to the burbs - a change of pace from a sleepy English countryside or a crazy-dizzy city life.


BG has been my sugar daddy of home furniture. He's like a big teddybear. He was the first one to greet me and the last to see me go. It was so nice to see him again and to finally meet his woman. And a brief encounter with Scottie, who is guiding the international youth in Michigan. A scary thought ;)


The happy couple & the Boilers bro's. It's been real nice to see Shar & Izzy. And Jeffrey... Chicago wouldn't have been such an exceptional experience without him.


Izzy still has the bathrobe he "borrowed" from the hotel in Milwaukee.

And then there was Halloween in Madison, which is like a rites of passage at one point in life. I'll leave it at that.


And some new faces, like Happy, here with the huge plate of cous cous. Funny enough, I knew her but had never met her. That's the beauty of the Aiesec network. You eventually meet people you have heard about.


And getting to spend some time with Dad in Chicago a few days before I left. It's nice getting some father-daughter time. It's bound to happen when we're both jetting across different places all the time. I can't wait till mom & dad can come out to Europe.


And the last photo in Illinois. I used to come to this library all the time.
