After spending an hour to go 7 miles through the fine Illinois highway system (the traffic jam was because of a toll booth) Dave and I arrived safely in Evanston yesterday. We didn't get in untill about 7:30 and it was close to 11 by the time we returned the truck. We then searched for a place that would be open at 11 to grab dinner, and we ended up at Taco Bell.
Today we unpacked and met the people we will be going to Greece with. for a BBQ They all seem very nice so it should be a good time. We also discovered that having an open container of alochol within view of the lake is a $750 fine. We were at the BBQ and there were margartias and beer. A cop drove by and informed us that there is a $750 fine per person with an open container of alcohol. Luckily Dave and I didn't have an open container on us and the cop didin't charge anyone anyway.
We leave for Greece tomorrow at 5PM. I am looking foward to Greece, it should be a fun trip. Although, I am already feeling a bit homesick and missing all our friends in Minnesota, but I am sure once things get busy I won't have time to think about it. I will try to post pictures of my cute little dorm apartment later, probably not until after Greece.

Leaving, on a jet plane (well sort of)...
Well, its been a fun two weeks off of work. I have had two fun poker nights, an excellent going away party thrown by Karin, and lots of fun time with friends, including a great outing at Alleygators when Team Bacos went 3-0.
Sadly enough, it is now time for me to leave for Evanston. Dave and I will be driving the moving truck I rented to Evanston today and then we will be leaving for Greece on Sunday. I will try to update once we get in Evanston but I don't know what the internet situation will be. Thanks to everyone for making my last two weeks so much fun!
