At noon today, we boarded the MegaBus in Iowa City and headed east to Chicago. MegaBus is a double-decker bus and we rode on the "top floor." Let me just say this: that top floor sways like a prop plane in a storm! I was SURE we were going to tip right over. I told the students that our assignment on this trip would be to write our wills so, when the bus tips on the trip home, we'll have our affairs in order.
We're in Hyde Park, just blocks from the Obama home. We walked by this afternoon when we got here. It's a great neighborhood and we have lots to do and see. However, it was almost 90 degrees today and super humid so we're kind of just soaking in being here. We had our first adventure on the CTA to get to Chinatown for dinner--one bus, then the red line. It was nice to have our first trip be pretty low stress.
Right now (10:30 at night), there are two very intense games going on: Euchre (card game) in one corner, Apples to Apples [and I believe it's the dirty version so I'm trying not to listen too much] in the other corner. It makes it possible to forget that the heat hasn't broke and won't until Thursday...
Tomorrow, we are off exploring the city.
