We departed Bloomington yesterday from Evermann. All the Fulbrighters are now either at home, in transit or staying somewhere else in the US for a few more weeks. It was very sad to leave everyone. The air is very cold, it's about minus 8.
Now we are in Chicago for 2 nights as we wait to board the train - California Zephyr - to San Francisco. We had a great breakfast this morning meeting up with Nourit and her husband. Next we all went the Art Institute of Chicago. We spent 3 hours there looking around. There were droves of people there. Next we went for some drinks and then to an Italian restaurant for dinner. The snow has come and much more is one the way. Michigan Avenue is the main center city shopping area and has a great light show on for Xmas. There is also a type of Chriskindl Markt and an outside ice skating rink - open air. Here are a few pictures of the visit.
