Emily and I took the train into downtown Chicago at around 1 pm. It was an above ground, double decker train with a good view. Naturally we sat on the upper level. The city looked really beautiful as we rode into town - brick buildings, industry, and a lot of history. I hate new cities. They just don't have the same feel. I guess that's why I liked Rome so much. We took a cab from Union Station to Ann and Miguel's (Emily's aunt and uncle) hotel. From there we rented a car, picked up Ann and Miguel's friend MacArthur (I think that's his name) and drove to a park next to lake Michigan. Emily and I thought that the were just taking us to the docks, to walk in and out of stores. Instead we went on a Siberian Blizzard Death March. We walked for about 2.5 miles in snowy, windy, and freezing weather. We had dinner at a Greek restaurant called The Parthenon, after picking up Joey. The food was amazing. Better than even the Greek food we had in Greece. After dinner, Emily, Joey and I went out for coffee until 2 am.
