If I....
I'm going to "post something weird." Sarah said it would work if I wanted comments. So here it goes...
The other day John and I were visiting in Chicago when we saw this man...he was a curious sort of man, kind of standing half-tall..looking everwhichway.
Ok. I'm terrible at this.
We really were in Chicago the other day and had some of the most interesting adventures. The first night we were there we saw this truck on fire a few yards from the apartment we were staying in! It was up in flames..completely. They reached at least fifteen feet high and were all blue and yellow and orange! John called the police and they trasfered him to the fire department, which kindly let him know someone was already on the way. By the end, there were five police cars, a large firetruck, and eight or so witnesses. It was weird. The truck is no more.
On Saturday, we practically walked all around and over downtown Chicago, visiting Millinium Park, Sears Tower, The Magnificant Mile, Navy Pier, and um...other places I can't remember. And we ate such goooood food! They really know how to make pizza up thar, ya know! haha.
We visited Willow Chicago (one of Willow Creek's campus' in downtown Chicago) and got to take communion with our brothers and sisters in the Windy City. What else? I got a bagel at almost every stop we made! mmmmm! Delicious. I finally found the perfect one. It was grand.
Oh, and on Sunday John and I went to the Musuem of Science and Industry! It was magnificantly HUGE! We could hardly do everything we wanted..in fact, we didn't get to see it all. But we got to see how they make toys, take a tour in a coal mine, walk through an airplane, observe several old planes, walk around the submarine U505. It was amazing!! They literally built the walls around the sub once they got it in place. This submarine was captured from the Germans by the Americans in World War 2. You could even see the gun shot wounds the sub had gotten during a fight! It was crazy neat. So, all in all, we did a ton of walking, saw some interestingly, strange, amazing sites and ate tremendous food all with the company of our neighbors and her sister and boyfriend...Though there were some times when John and I just wandered around the city. That was great fun too..We did that Saturday and Sunday night. Such fun discovering new places (and rare eating places).
So, do I solicit some comments now.....
