So I think in the song “Big Man On Mulberry Street” by Billy Joel, he said he was taking the el-train to Canal Street. Not exactly the same for me, ours was taking the Amtrak from Canal Street!

For those of you whom did not know, I’m nowhere to be found in the ‘natti right now. Nope, can’t find me, I’ve left the building! At the moment I write this, 11:23 pm central, I’m on an Amtrak train headed back from Chicago to Toledo, and we’ll drive the remainder back to Columbus tonight. The train is rather nice, but it is running behind sadly, to the tune of 45 minutes, so we’ll be in Toledo at 1:45, and home at 4:15. I have co-workers at my main job whom wake up this early!

It also marks a pair of 20 hour plus days in a row. 23 hours yesterday, then 8 hours sleep, then 20 more hours today. It’s cause me and Danielle didn’t want to rest at all, wanted to see everything. And while in truth we never made it far from Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile, it was still so much fun!!

The only negative so far? Well, two. We went to Kingston Mines to listen to blues music, but didn’t make it a half hour before hitting complete exhaustion, and the fact I can’t get myself to sleep on this train ride! Danielle is happily passed out, hand on my tummy, right next to be now. But I’m so warm, I can’t do the same!

More on Chicago soon, just felt compelled to post. The ride isn’t exciting, wanted to catch up on the blogging!
