Morcheeba Day 9, Chicago, IL

I woke up early today to fly to Chicago and got in to town late afternoon. Fortunately I had some time left to enjoy my day off in a city I grew quite familiar with over the last couple years. After settling at the hotel, which felt kind of weird after having an apartment here, I headed out to some of my favourite old shops and eateries and just walked around noticing how things had changed in the last 8 months since I'd last been here.

It was a lot of fun and I totally wore out my feet. I had started to forget how great it is here and how nice the people are. There's a surprising amount of eye contact when walking down the street, which is something you don't really get in New York. There seems to be a refreshing friendliness in the air, dampened only by the fact that the Cubs lost on opening day. I guess some things never change...
