The second day in Chicago as I mentioned Bill and Sarah were nice enough to let me do my laundry at their apartment. Plus I got to watch Fast & Furious with Bill.
Afterwards we had lunch at sponsored by a former JOH rider at Chipotle on State St. at Division. It was delicious, but I overdid it with the Tabasco.
The afternoon I spent pretty lazily. Picked my laundry since it wasn't done drying before lunch. Got a cup of coffee. And cleaned up before dinner.
Dinner was at a pizza place called Lou Malnati's on Wells St. It was good, authentic Chicago-style pizza. The sponsor was Adam Solarz from Miami of Ohio who looked really familiar. And it turns out he graduated in 2006 and rode that same year and knows Adam Dick, Jon Bos, and the Brothers Kozak.
Also on our last night in Chicago, the Art Institute had free admission after five o'clock, so Ray and I met Kozak who came straight from work. We didn't have a lot of time, so we just saw the Impressionists, some of the contemporary galleries, and an exhibit on architecture and design. The architecture and design exhibit was really cool. Also they just opened a new wing for the contemporary and modern collections along Millenium Park and it seemed really cool, I wish had had more time to check it out.
Also as an aside we determined that the circumference of the Earth is just over 24,000 miles. So our trip this summer is just shy of one eighth of the circumference of the entire planet. Pretty crazy when you consider most of the planet it covered in water.
