This set the stage for another college tour with Jane. We got up ridiculously early and drove to long term parking at Newark and marked our location
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0612
got our stuff together
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0613
and marked the bus stop
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0614
as Jane waited for the bus
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0615
and I read the sign
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0616
and next thing we knew we were in the terminal looking at the wares
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0617
at Seattle's Best
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0618
where Jane had a bagel
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0619
and I had a large decaf
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0620
before we went over to the other side and landed in O'Hare where the hallways were busy
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0621
as I waited at the Dunkin Donut
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0622
for Jane
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0623
and we rode the bus together as I took this self portrait
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0624
and then this woman at Hertz
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0625
rented us this car
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0626
with these Florida plates
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0627
so that we could drive to Evanston and find parking at our hotel
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0628
and then find our way to our room
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0629
where this was the view
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0630
Next we headed out to lunch at the Greek place where this was the menu
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0631
and Jane
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0632
and I
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0633
were happy to see the condiments
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0634
as I ordered my Greek salad
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0635
which came with pita bread
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0636
and dressing on the side
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0637
and she had her burger
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0638
which the waitress
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0639
took care of as she took our picture
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0640
On our way to the Northwestern campus, this girl
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0641
asked to interview Jane for her journalism project
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0642
and then we found the campus
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0643
and made our way through the exercise course
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0644
to the lake and the beach
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0645
where people were bathing
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0646
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0647
as we looked north to the point
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0648
and south to the Chicago skyline
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0649
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0650
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0651
as we walked around and found a small whirlpool
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0652
and a very calm lake of beautiful colors
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0653
before taking the tour.
After the tour, we passed Urban Outfitters
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0654
on our way to a creamery (which turned out to be the wrong creamery)
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0655
we approached the creamery
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0656
checked out the menu
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0657
and the specials
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0658
and then Jane got this ice cream cone
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0659
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0660
and we had these drinks
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0661
while recording the location for future reference.
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0662
After a respite, we went to the Blind Faith Cafe
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0663
for dinner. The menu offered many choices
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0664
but we began with drinks
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0665
and Jane
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0666
and I
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0667
enjoyed our waiter who was from Brazil via New York
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0668
as he brought Jane's salad
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0669
with dressing
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0670
and my rice
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0671
and main dish (Mongolian with meat substitute)
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0672
and a very large sample of peanut sauce.
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0673
I managed to finish my main course
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0674
even as this waiter
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0675
filled my water glass many times. The dessert menu
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0676
had a wonderful peanut butter bar
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0677
and then we paid the check
../../../Sabbat/2005/07.05-09.05CollegeTours//IMG_0678
and called it a night.
