U.S. Road Trip 3 - Chicago

Spent around 28 hours on a train from Grand Junction to Chicago. Plenty of time to forget about being shy and start chatting with different people. One was an old guy who liked talking politics with me - though I'm pretty sure I sounded clueless. I did enjoy the ride and going from car to car. This despite the fact that before I boarded in San Francisco the headlines were about a train that derailed.














My brother flew from New York to Chicago to hang out with me. He's 15 years older than me and left the Philippines when I was 11. It's not the first time I visited him in the U.S. but it was the first time we really had bonding time. He was more maps and guidebooks, and I was more "hey, let's walk til our knees go wobbly." But the yin and yang act worked and the photos show how much fun we actually had.
