I now am in Chicago and my main question is:HOW and When did i get here?? dont worry, im NOT on drugs. I went to bed at 12 pm in Toronto and i woke about 4 times in the middle of the night since i was afraid id miss the airport bus.Of course I woke up right on time and made it to the 4.20 bus. Then arrived in the airport super early. Check in took a while. It was strange because you would get your ticket but you would only deliver your luggage after passing the american police. My mistake number one was that I had to fill out an emmigration form since I wasnt canadian or american and the policeman said if i wanted it in english or spanish. Say english created an entire fuzz on why I hold a spanish passport and want a form in english. to maek a long story short I was so sleepy I filled the form wrong twice. I thought they would not alloww me to pass for being mentally pathetic. But at the end I made it through of course after 1,000 questions. I headed to the business lounge for some relaxing time,but there was bearly any free food and no free internet! grr! The worst is that i was almost falling asleep. Well, i made it to the plane and i bearly remember leaving the runway and then i saw we were landing in Chicago. I made sure I got off and not fell asleep as the flight was continuing to Texas. L O L.. I tried to check in the hostel but it was to early so i went on an architectural boat trip of the city around the river ..beautiful! Then I went on a city walk and had some lunch at this famous pizzeria. I was about to order this filled pizza, suposately very famous. However, I saw the sizes of the pizza and decided against it...Then i kept walking and finally did the check in and went directly to bed. What was suposed to be a power nap turned into 3 hours of sleeping. I later took the train. Its really cool because the train does a loop in the center of the city and then goes to the outskirts. So if you sit in a train it will take you all around, and will do a loop in the center. Its like a subway but its elevated so you get great views!! Chicago is really nice. I wasnt expecting it to be like this,but its got a bunch of really cool skyscrappers!! Chicago is on the coast of the lake michigan and it has a great walk by the water. Its a pitty i wount have enough time to explore the neighbourhoods. If any of you wants to rent an appartment in CHicago in the future let me know, maybe we can share it? I dont share with people who use too much electricity (no comment about that..).
Found very funny that as i walked through the airport there was an announcement that said "ladies and gentelman, homeland security has raised the security level to orange, so please keep all luggage attended and look out for luggae left unattended". All in this super serioius voice, as if we were in war zone. I just found it hilarious..
Too much blogging for the day! :) Finally a computer that goes fast! Leave some messages so that I know you are alive!
