i have just arrived in chicago. it is cold here too. the hotel here is very nice. it is a days inn hotel and has complementary free internet access. Today was a fairly long drive too but it is pretty easy until you are trying to find the right off ramp. the traffic in chicago is terrible. it is sunday afternoon here and there was a traffic jam on the freeway through the city.
i have been drinking water here. coke tastes absolutely disgusting!!! it is undrinkable it doesnt taste at all like the coke at home - for those who say that i am addicted to coke it is not true! - i have been almost a week without it and there have been no problems.
the people here are quite nice unless they are working in a shop then they are very rude and unhelpful. everyone has a very strong accent and i some times find it difficult to understand what ppl are saying - especially 'black' ppl. it is like a different language. i still havent been able to find a supermarket. i am going to a mall tonight to see a movie so maybe ill see a supermarket too. i am already craving anything green.
i am all caught up now - i will try to put some pictures on later

Hi Sarah
What an adventure you are having. I bet you have to pinch yourself to believe that you are really there.
Great reading you blogs. Keep them coming.
Love Marg
PS enjoy all that good water.
Hi Sarah, Hope everything is going well. Mark said that you sounded tired.
I was really upset that I missed your call today. It's very hard to find a time when you are awake that we can get in contact.
We are going to Claire's tonight for dinner and to open all the presents from Myer.
I hope you find a supermarket soon - they must be somewhere!.
How can coke taste different? I'm glad you can't drink it....
I've messaged you about the call from Box Hill. It's nothing important.
Missing you,
love mum
