I arrived in Chicago yesterday afternoon, and have loved every minute of it. This city, is fantastic and every bit as beautiful as I've heard. It is also the largest city I have ever visited by far. The past 24 hours have been filled with site seeing, city walking, and great restaurants that live up to their reputation.
The hotel I'm staying at is conveniently located on Michigan Ave and is in great proximity to anywhere you wish to go. A block south was the infamous Buddy Guy's blues club, which was a ton of fun. The club also had fantastic food and drinks, I encourage anyone who is visiting Chicago to check it out!
After that I wandered even more, finding a few Irish pubs with friendly locals. The name of the first place I found was Kasey's, and the burgers were incredible. After a long night of socializing and absorbing the Chicago night life, I was ready to crash.
Today I spent pretty much the whole day in an infamous Chicago sports bar called Timothy O'Toole's. if you're a sports fan, then there is no better place to catch a game than O'Toole's. I got a first hand dose of some true Bear fans, and they are every bit as passionate and dedicated as people say. Also, Timothy O'Toole's had some of the best chicken wings I've ever had! The atmosphere, coupled with the food and the Seahawks winning made this a truly memorable experience.
In a little while I'll be going out (again) to dinner and tomorrow will be filled with museums and history, so I'll certainly do another free write to talk more about my days in Chicago.
I begin my internship one week from tomorrow.
