Grown up like only checking one bag and not crying at take off.

Surprise, I spent the weekend in Chicago! Sri and I went to visit Sandwich Lady and That Girl to check out their new stomping grounds. Turns out they are doing quite well and had much to show us. Saturday was spent with a bit of...polarity. We woke up and took our [quite witty] sign reading "Anti-War Message" to an anti-war rally downtown. We spent an hour cheering and listening to speakers, an hour making fun of people, and the last half an hour complaining. And eventually left when the speakers started saying "GOD DAMNED WAR!" to get the attention of their frozen audience. And when we ran out of things to complain about. Just like the soldiers.

Shopping, nauseatingly heavy and delicious food, rickety L (L? is it El?) rides and maps, or lack there of, defined the rest of the weekend. And the sickeningly comfortable bed at the hotel (Hotel! We love hotels!) where our view(ish) was Navy Pier.

We traveled on our own plans, never got lost and didn't need the pills.
