1,300 miles and our first day off.





Our day off was in Chicago, how fun right? About half the group woke up and went skydiving. I didn't have $200 to spend on a 15 minute endeavor today sooo... instead I decided to sleep in until 7:30am (I think I am in fact not capable of sleeping any later than this anymore) then got up and went out to Beans and Bagels with Kate, Sean and Sharon for breakfast (great food!) we read The Onion (newspaper) and then went to the church we were staying at to give a presentation and bicycle clinic to some of the church members.  Kate, Isaiah, Sean, Sharon and I went to the Vietnam War memorial where some Isaiah,  Kate and Sharon took naps and Sean and I talked on our phones and watched hornets from the nest above Isaiah walk all over him while he slept.   Once we had energy again we went for deep dish pizza (at Giordanos) and then for Ghiardelli ice cream (splitting 2 between the 5 of us).  We eventually wandered to the 95th floor of the Hancock building and experienced our own version of skydiving (dropping 95 stories in an elevator in like 30 seconds..holy high speed!) Cruised for the rest of the day and then went back to our home for the night.
