Symposium Day 1 - Traveling to Chicago

Since the second Symposium I attended, in Santo Domingo in 2012, I've been sketching maps of places I visit to give me a sense of where things are before I go. As a map it's pretty useless though :)

This was the easiest traveling I've ever done for a Symposium. A one and a half hour flight in the time zone seemed like cheating.

I took the train from the airport to my hotel. Easy peasy.

This was my first site after getting off of the train, as if the city was greeting me.
