Chicago

bus from Iowa City into Chicago listening to Illinois and Simon & Garfunkel, passing through Music Man deepcuts (Davenport, Rock Island) along the way.

the city is huge and a world away from Iowa. it’s nice to be here briefly, with only a night to be left stunned by the size of the skyscrapers.

a little like a dress rehearsal for New York. milkshakes are ridiculously thick here, though I won’t complain. free breakfast at the hostel in the morning before commuting out to O’Hare.

the first leg of the adventure has treated me well - and I have been so lucky to be in such precious and generous company. and so we move: all things go, all things go. <<
