Chicago trip.

Basically my last few days went as follows..

Sunday July 13th
Driving to Springfield, IL to catch my train to Chicago, IL. Departing at 6:33pm. I drove past the road I was supposed to take to the train station, had to go a few blocks to turn around. I was already running close on time. I arrive at the train station at 6:35pm.. the train was gone. So I got another ticket for the next morning, the guy working there told me it left at 6:55am. Then I called my friend to look up some hotels in Springfield, then he told me to just call his brother, which I am friends with and stay with him to save money. So I did that, met up with Brad, my friend Matts brother. Kicked it for a bit, then he had to go to work at the Airport for a few hours, I went to Black Sheep Cafe in Springfield for a bit, checked out some band from Decatur.

After I left there, I made some stops to obtain some proper merchandise. Then met back up with Brad at his apartment. Invited a few friends over and we kicked it all night until I had to leave early in the morning. I arrive back at the train station (around 6:45am on Monday July 14th). I go to the window to give them my ticket, I was then notified that the train left at 6:33am. I was told the wrong time. So then I had to change to the next train at 830am. I went to eat breakfast with Brad and Jessie, then went back caught the train. and I was off to Chicago, Finally. I tried to sleep on the train, but it didn't happen, well I got about an hour of sleep. It took 6 hours to get there with all the delays.

I arrive in Chicago around 1pm, check out something , meet up with my friend Justin. We went to a Polish Bar near Belmont, it was fun. Came back to his apartment, and then crashed. Then July 15th Tuesday. Went and checked out some more places, then went out to eat at some pizza place that was really good. Then we came back to Justins apartment and hung out.

Now I head out to the train station in about 4 hours to head back to Springfield.
