Hope you're all having fun and enjoying Chicago. Can't remember what it's famous for except Al Capone and the Untouchables! Are you going down to the Lakes?

Hello all, thanks for all the kind words!!!
I will attach photos when I find a connection that actually allows me to stick my memory card in the computer... Lesson here seems to be take a USB cable with you on travels! Needless to say they will probably be blurred, but that does sum up most of my evenings!
In philadelphia right now, will attempt a proper blog later, but have almost run out of clothes so have to find a launderette first...
Adios for now
Mat

Yo Biatch!! Sounds like your having fun, But how can we tell if it looks like your having fun? You ain't got no pictures up yet!
I like the idea of you wondering what to do then deciding that its best to drink with a hobo and eat free hot dogs. So your style!
Minnow I love your girly drinks rant. Is Hayleys drinks ordering starting to wear with you?!!
Keep enjoying yourself.
Dave

Hello Mat!
Good to see that the travelling experience isn't changing you too much so far! Or at least your drinking habits haven't changed anyhow!! Good stuff.
We having our first day of rain here so I've settled here in a cafe driking while Diccon is shopping. Gender roles reversed or what!! You still in rediculous heat?! Is it the humity that is worse? Toronto was really humid when we left.
Minnow - we'll be having words about your extra long rant about women's fussy drinking habits when I get back. Maybe a therapy session at an appropriate pub is in order.
Anyway - Mat (Sue and John) enjoy the next leg of your travels. Look forward to hearing more.
Love Mairead xxx

Sounds like you're having a wicked time. Can't wait to meet up with you in Washington... Just been on the beeb and New York is meant to be 38 today and Washington 41!! Sounds like it's too hot to venture outside to me - best stay in the pub
Minnow
OOK Marv. Sounds like you are settling in well... sampling the national cuisine, making new hobo friends... and funny about the vom - only took you about 24 hrs being there! You're not exactly the best person for giving the New Yorkians the image of hardened drinkers us Brits have.
I've heard of McSorley's. Why can't British bars only offer girls a choice of 2 drinks, it would make decision time at the bar so much quicker instead of every round waiting for them to peer over the bar going "oh, what have they got... I can't quite see in that fridge. Ooh, whats in that fridge? Ask if they do mango and passionfruit fizzywhatsit, if not I'll have purple WKD, failing that I'll have vodka and coke, not moody vodka but Smirnoff, hmmm shall I have a single or double?, with ice, not too much ice though, no lemon and a straw please, in a big glass and ask for lots of coke please".
You're doing well, now you've got the sight seeing out the way you can just get on with the drinking and mingling.
