We arrived in Chicago at about 9:30pm this evening. long pause. sigh. it's really hard to believe we were snorkeling 3 days ago. Today we traveled from Kansas City to St Louis to Chicago. Yes Ada, we went to the super awesome City Museum If you are ever within a few hours of St Louis you owe it to yourself to head over and climb on some amazing art.

We threw two hours of change in the parking meter, strapped on our knee pads and resolved ourselves to not make good time from MO to IL. There is such a blast to be had scrambling through tubes 4 stories off the ground and caves so small you resemble a child being born when you emerge on the other side. The amazing part was how totally charged with positive creative energy this place was. So, with my desire to learn how to weld solidified we spent the last few hours of our car trip making a list of things we want to do before Erin gets on the plain. I can't believe it's just about all over and I think we're both already mentally planning other trips similar to this one. They don't call it travel-lust for nothin'.

Final conclusion still to come.
