Chicago: Saturday the 24th

Flew out of London at 12:55 on the 24th, Saturday and flew for 8 hours through the time change and got to Chicago on the same day at 3pm.

I will be available to the central Iowans after the 27th or 28th.

Everyone keeps asking me if I'm sad that the trip is over and I can't say I am. A little overwhelmed that tommorrow (tommorrow!) I will be back in the US and will need to get down to finding a job and will be dealing with interviews, apt searches and leases, moving vans, selling myself... but I liked my trip, I like that I get to start things in Chicago (and bake and be a big city gal and listen to music and have 80 outfits to choose from).

Also, I met someone* in Paris and they are coming home with me and moving with me to Chicago... =)

love,
Michelle

*Her name is Sabine, and she is a grocery shopper. Two big white wheels, a purple satin cloth bag, a black plastic handle- she's lovely. I like her very much. She lost a wheel in Paris and I wasnt very happy with her but it snapped right back on. I have wanted a grocery shopper for a very long time... Grocery shoppers are everywhere in the european cities... they are like the car trunk for the cool city dweller who doesnt drive. Mine isn't quite as sofisticated as the plaid or striped designer numbers/ but she can cart scarves and vegetables and waterbottles... and she is a parisian, so we will find fine food and wine together.
