chicago day one

Byron's Hot Dogs: Chicago Style is the way to go! Previous to this morning, I had no idea that hot dogs could be anything other than basic. But, in Chicago, you pile a salad on the hot dog and have an experience. Ok, so this may seem uneventful for some... but it was a good way to start the trip.

Moving on... a little more orientation, and then, more food!

Leona's! An Italian masterpiece: authentic five-cheese lasagna. It is still funny to be with the group in this type of setting because conversation stalls frequently. We don't know each other yet. We are not accustomed to each other... But I doubt this will last.

And continuing the food theme: grocery shopping! A short trip to the Jewel-Osco revealed higher prices, and teamwork for the girls. While the boys were busy buying cereal and eggs, the girls were grabbing all the ingredients for previously planned meals. However, being a new team, we still needed time to communicate in the store, and finished right after the guys, despite the organization.

And to finish the night perfectly, Laura had made us all cookies and brought them, with milk to the apartments. Friends are great.
