The city

Tours in this port are going to be crazy, from 10 to 2100, so we’ve split the days in half and are sharing with the watches. Starboard took the morning shift and had the late afternoon off. We ended up opening early and there was some silly crew parade that ended up throwing off the rotation, but it was a great day, the weather was perfect and I was excited to be in Chicago.

Jesse and I walked to Millennium Park where there was a water fountain that he’d been talking about for a long time that he wanted to see. It’s like little LED lights behind glass bricks, there are images of people’s faces and it changes every five minute or so and appears as if they are shooting water from their mouth. There was also a huge shinny jellybean, you can walk under it and inside it is concave and appears as if it’s so much farther away than it really is.

Walked around the city for the rest of the afternoon and got Chinese food for dinner. Called Dustin and talked about when we were going to meet up, I went to high school with him and haven’t seen him for two years.

Face fountain.
