This morning during breakfast, I had the pleasure of meeting
Johnny and Ed - two very interesting fellows from the UK.
Johnny and Ed are old friends from university and have been
exploring Chicago together for the past week. Johnny is currently on a five month sabbatical and has already visited
Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, New York City, and Chicago
is his last and final stop on his trip before returning back to his job in
Wales at the end of this week. Ed, on the other hand, took a week off work from
his job in London to visit Chicago and meet up with Johnny.
They were drawn to Chicago because many of their friends
from the UK who previously visited just raved about the city so they were
curious to see it for themselves. Since they’re at the very end of their trip
(and budgets) they’ve been finding free and cheap things to do around Chicago.
So far they’ve visited the Art Institute of Chicago, Improv Olympics comedy show, and Buddy
Guy’s Legends Blues Club. Today they’re planning to check out the Museum of
Contemporary Photography, attend another improv show, and eat more
Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Have fun!
