So I just went down to Chicago for a couple of days while Nate was in the states. We stayed at a hostel is greektown on the fringe of downtown, met a bunch of great people and cruised around the town.
Met a guy that was moving to Santiago Chile then heard about the huge earthquake there yesterday and hope everything still works out for him.
After dropping Nater off at O'Hare, I drove down to Wheaton and surprised Kevin Sandy Sophie and Cole. Hospitality was great and they treated me to dinner and one of the kid's favorite local mexican joints.
A quick drive back to La Crosse that night found me facing an uncertain and exciting week.
Sat. Feb 27th
Bags and van are packed and I hit the road. Just me, an engineering degree, and an open road symbolize what this country is all about. You can go anywhere, do anything, and eventually with enough elbow grease something will work out.
On the drive down I actually considered what a lot of European immigrants must have gone through. They just booked a boat, and jumped the pond in hopes of something new and exciting. This is basically what I'm doing. Headed to somewhere in Texas and hope for the best.
I drove all the way to Lawrence, KS to meet two friends, Meghan and Allison, and go out on the town to catch up for the night. Crashed at their pad and now I'm sitting at a great Sunday brunch spot in downtown Lawrence. We're going to go to Allison's barn later today to take some video of her horse. Vids will be up soon.
I wish the best to everyone and want to thank you for your wishes, love, and support as I trek cross-country in search of greener pastures.
