The windy city...

After a pretty smooth ride in the bus with lots of sleeping, we arrived to downtown Chicago today around noon. With food on our mind we went into the first decent looking place and got ourselves a very nice meal - finally with some veggies haha.. After all the junk we've been eating this lunch helped our stomachs back on track!
Then we just walked around the city with our heavy backpacks hanging on our shoulders. It's a cool city with a lotta culture and a nice atmosphere going on, and we're excited to check it out these next couple of days.

Eventually we started heading towards our host Paul's place and decided that walking down there would be nice - bad call considering the backpacks we had to carry along, and we probably walked more than 10 km in total... But after getting to Paul's house we got some Mexican dinner. When we came back we were once again introduced to a musical experience listening to Paul's band Rite Fruit practice in his garage - when saying garage, it's not at all how you would imagine a garage.. It's more a homemade studio, with carpets all over the walls, and cool lights and lamps hanging around creating a really cozy place to sit and chill, and just listen. Of course, this band is gonna start record their first album these next months, so we'll have another record to look forward listening to!

Stay tuned for more coming up about The Windy City.
