Day 1 in Chicago: Exploring Evanston

I was so tired yesterday and today (Monday) that my eyes hurt. Woke up at 9 am. Wrote in my journal, downloaded photos, wrote in my blog, and posted on Facebook. Also did Kerri’s dishes from last night.

There is a 2 hour parking limit here without a permit on Kerri’s street in Evanston. I moved the car to a side street at 11 am, and then drove the car to downtown Evanston so I could go to Bennison bakery, and to see if they are an internet café.

The answer is no, but Delbe’s one block away is. Never connected to the internet there, but was able to do a lot of writing in my journal. I had a pastrami bagel and latte and stayed there until they closed at 3 pm. Because I still had 45 minutes left on the parking meter and shouldn't be back at Kerri's until 4 pm (2 hour parking limit), I stuck another quarter in the parking meter and took a 45 minute nap.

When Kerri got home, we took our laundry in, and went to dinner at Farm House farm to table restaurant. My trout was excellent. Kerri wasn't really happy with her hamburger - they forgot the bacon. We also split a black dale salad. The lace was decorated with old barn wood walls, which was clever, but it was very loud (the ceiling is hard).

We caught up on news. She showed me photos of the engagement ring and wedding dress she wants. Her fiance lives in Kansas, but is looking for a new professor job somewhere else. At home again, I worked on my blog and photos some more.
