Hey, everyone. Just wanted to let you all know I'm alive and well. While my trip has been primarily focused on seeing my hometown, my father and I decided to take a little trip to the windy city today.

So to make Mike incredibly jealous, I'm blogging from the Apple store in Chicago, Illinois. I must say, this is one cool place. I'll post a picture when I get back. They have a huge, all glass staircase that leads to the second story that vibrates when you take a step. There's also a "Genius Bar" where you can go for free tips on fixing your computer, a full sized theatre for software tutorials, and about three hundred computers. Plus a free internet cafe. I'm in Apple heaven.

Should be seeing a lot more of Chicago, so I'll definitely take lots of pictures. In addition to the ones I already have, of course. This new card for my camera is the best purchase I've made in a while. 40+ pictures and going strong.

See you soon, gang.
