First, a short update. I have been in Denver for two nights staying with Matt Shaw (no relation to the other Shaws) and seeing downtown. Gabe is flying in today and we're going to spend a night or two more here, before moving back to Colorado Springs semi-permanently. We're house sitting for one of Gabe's friends until June 29 and then we'll get a motel for a few nights or go back to couch crashing until July 3 when I'm back to Canada for 3 weeks. Downtown Denver is pretty cool with a great library and some outdoor malls and music and stuff.
I am highly appreciative of a city with numbered streets and avenues, as well as named streets that go in alphabetical order, at least close to the centre. Plus, the L train is great and the buses to the airport are pretty comprehensive.
The space needle in Seattle!
That little writing in the window says "welcome to the middle of nowhere". It truly was. Gas was also super expensive... probably for good reason.
Gabe wouldn't let me take a picture of him because he thought his friends in California would think he was uncool for making a big deal out of it.
This was really exciting to see after 20+ hours of driving in 2 days.
I almost chickened out of going on this coaster, which is V2 at Six Flags Great America in Chicago. The ride looked the scariest from the ground but was actually quite fun, and not disorienting or terrifying to ride (Superman wins that award for me).
"Wow! Look at all those lanes of traffic! I have to take a picture." Sorry Gabe.
This was at Taste of Randolph Street, a small fest in Chicago for tasting restaurants on one well-known strip of high end restaurants. The food we tasted was really delicious and there were two stages for bands, most of which were good. The amount of people packed into the street was mildly alarming at times.
Public transit face on the Metra in Chicago.
