Day 8 Avoca, IA to Chicago, IL

While we are enjoying breakfast at our lovely hotel in Avoca, a missionary who has been living in the Czech republic for the past 8 years or so sits down to talk to us. She asks us if we are on our honeymoon, to which we both react with nervous laughter. If I am ever on a honeymoon in an oddly scented motel in Avoca, IA something has gone severely wrong. We drive and drive, as usual and arrive in Chicago around 5pm. Tiffany, another friend from the Spain trip, is hosting us for the night. She lives right next to Lincoln Park in a very "cozy" but very cute apartment. We try our hand at the Chicago bus system to meet up with Matt, a friend of Marc's from his former place of employment. We have a lovely Indian meal followed by a brief tour of the Magnificent Mile. We stop in the Apple Store to check out the new iphones, I'm not particularly impressed. Though I didn't get to see a whole lot of it, I am impressed by Chicago.
