Stop Two: Chicago
So San Diego was cool and lots of fun, I will upload the pictures to Flickr tomorrow if I have a chance. It was nice to have a week of lazing at the beach and sightseeing, and Southern California is definitely much more the image of California that most people think of.
But, I’ve moved on from there. I’m writing this from my hostel in Chicago right now. I just checked in, totally exhausted from hauling all my stuff around but not too tired which is good. I had just the right amount of change to buy a drink from the machine but it’s sold out of everything. Great…
