Chicago (pt. 1)


So yesterday I came, ulcer and all, to Chicago and it has thus far been awesome. We got into town yesterday afternoon and decided to eat Mexican food. Seeing how East Lansing has zero good Mexican restaurants, this dinner was AMAZING. I had a delicious vegetarian burrito (filled with potatoes, refried beans, onions, and peppers) with a stripe of guacamole across the top. Delicious!

Then we headed to the Chicago Jazz Festival to see the Dave Holland Big Band perform! In case you didn't know, Chris Potter plays lead tenor in the group and he is amazing.


The bari player was laying it down, which I always enjoy, and the drummer and vibes player were also really good. Chris Potter's solo pretty much stole the show though.

After the performance we went to the bar. Since I can't drink alcohol I have begun to experiment with non-alcoholic beverages. Tonic water with lime is my new favorite but I also had a ROOT BEER FLOAT!


It was heavenly. But pretty much anything involving icecream is heavenly in my eyes.
