Illinois

December 2002

On a twenty-hour railtrip, you'll inevitably meet great folks.
Valeri is from California. She sang some nice Jazz, just for us.
Freddie is from England. He's a soccer trainer.

Chicago's architecture is really cool.
Not as much as its weather, though ;)
Brrrrrrrr (froze my @ss off up there)

Some buildings are pretty high...

... Others are rather wide.
There was a German fiesta to celebrate Santa Klaus.

Of course, you knew that Chicago is on the shores of lake Michigan.

Lots of places in Chicago reminded me of Good Olde Europe

Look at this wooden platform in their subway stations
