October 12th
Back at 11 o’clock in the morning. Fighting against jet lag now. Thanks Chicago and their people for a nice beautiful week over in the United States.
October 11th (1/2 day)
Just some chilling in the sun. However the waether seems to get bad now. Dosn’t matter for us as we leave today anyway. In the newspaper: List of all finishing runners from Chicago Marathon.
October 10th
Weather is even better today. Chicago Marathon in the Morning. Around 40.000 runners, over 30.000 finishing. Visited the Museum of Science and Technology. Unfortunately the U-505 (a German u-boat from WWII) was closed for conservation and will not reopen until 2005. However they feature many other interesting things like a Boing 737, a coal mine form the 1930s, a walkable heart, the Apollo 8 lunar landing module, to name a few. Also visited the Omnimax theatre. In the evening again John Hancook Tower.
October 9th
Good weather again, blue skies, 23 C, visited the aquarium and the field museum, field museum has the worlds biggest t. rex body (also known as Sue). Later shopping and dinner at House of Blues.
October 8th
rainy weather finally, so in the morning art institute of chicago, they have some nice monets chagalls, rembrandts, picassos and others, the famous nighthawk painting is currently in Germany, though – funny isn’t it?, later shopping tour through all the big centers in downtown, in the evening 16″ pizza for 4.99$

personal notes:
Imagine a world in which you could actually phone M2. and something would happen.
