Chicago!

So today we again explored Chicago. Our adventure felt like a culmination of all the exercises we have engaged in this past week - we were blindfolded, driven to some part of the city, and told to find our way home using public transportation. It turned out to be much easier than it sounded, and it was a great ego booster. After finding our way home easily in just an hour, we felt accomplished. All of the map reading and getting lost and turning around and asking directions, we have finally arrived. We know how to get anywhere we want!
Okay, maybe not anywhere. But this week has taught me that a conscious effort does yield results. A week ago today, I wouldn't know Uptown from Downtown if I had a map of each. But now I am surprisingly confident in getting around, even by myself. Yay!
