The first three hours of our mega bus journey was so cold! I was not adequately prepared for this. I packed only shorts and a sun dress and sandles. So when we stoped at a gas station Will offered his KC Royals pajama pants and I accepted. After that I actually slept for a while. At five o'clock in the morning the bus approched downtown Chicago and the sun was rising. It was beautiful.
We grabbed out bags and exited the bus onto the side walk. It was Sunday morning and nothing in Union Station was open. There was no where to buy coffee. We were on a search and conquer mission for a good breakfast and hot coffee. So, we hit the side walk and I was back in short again because I didn't really want to be roaming Chicago in KC Royals pijama pants. It was freezing. The few people who were on the streets had obviously spent the night there and they were much more adequately clothed than us.
The resturant that bragged that it made fresh pastries and the "world's best breakfast" was not open until 6 o'clock. Their hospitality was not the best either cause when Will popped his head in and asked where the closest Starbucks was or the closest place to get breakfast they said "we don't know."
There was another little shop around the corner with breakfast and then just one more block down was the Starbucks. So, we finally got hot coffee and breakfast....eight block walk and almost frozen!
