28.-29.8.2015 Chicago Departure

On Friday evening we met with some friends of Sandra’s for dinner in Oak Park

for an very enjoyable last evening in Chicago. After a good dinner and some beer

and wine we said good-bye and retired for a good nights sleep.

Saturday started very dull and rainy so that it was not very hard to say good-bye to

the windy city

We both enjoyed a bit a bigger breakfast then usual because of the journeys ahead of us:

Sandra to the east, I to the west.

Again good-byes with the promise not to wait another 4 years for a visit.

A cab whizzed me to downtown Chicago to Union Station where ( thank God ! ) I could

already check-in my bags for my 2:15 pm departure to Whitefish/Montana. The Amtrak

steward, as it turned out, was from Whitefish and gave me some very useful tips and

suggested his favourite steak joint. Let’s see.

First I have an interesting train ride in front of me. 

Scheduled arrival time of train "7/27 The Empire Builder” is on Sunday at 8:56 pm Mountain time.
