Igar tog vi taget in till Chicago City. Vi fick chansen att ga till Chicago Board Options Exchange (cboe) vilket var valdigt haftigt, update om det kommer imorgon. Vi hade tankt att ga till ett museum, men klockan hade blivit ratt sen efter en lunch pa Miller’s Pub, sa vi gick runt i city en stund. Varje gang vi ar i Chicago vill jag garna ga till kaffe kedjan Caribou Coffee, men till min stora besvikelse har de nu lagt ner alla Caribou i Illinois. Vi hittade tillslut ett bakery, jag bestallde en latte och det var det varsta jag sett (om jag hade serverat en kaffe sa nar jag jobbade som barista hade jag fatt sparken direkt). 
Vi gick till marknaden med stadens Christmas Tree vid Daley Plaza. Vi fick aran att vara en del av Jim’s kompis som friade till sin tjej vid granen ♥ Vi gomde oss i folkmassan och nar hon hade sagt ja kom vi fram och gratulerade dem. Efterat akte vi till en champagne bar for att fira dem. 

Yesterday we took the train in to Chicago City. We got the chance to go to Chicago Board Options Exchange (cboe) which was very cool, update about that will come tomorrow. We wanted to go to a museum, but is was so late after we had lunch at Miller’s Pub, so we walked around the city for a while. Every time we are in Chicago I like to go to Caribou Coffee, but to my disappointment they had now closed down all Caribou in Illinois. We finally found a bakery, I ordered a latte and it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen (if I had served a coffee like that when I worked as a barista, I would get fired immediately). 
We went to the market with the city Christmas Tree by Daley Plaza. We got the honor to be a part of Jim’s friend that proposed to his girl by the tree ♥ We were hiding in the crowd and when she had said yes we came forward and congratulated them. After that we went to a champagne bar to celebrate them.

Idag ar det tre ar sedan jag vaknade upp i New York efter en sommar pa svensk mark. Jag kom till NY den 28 December 2010 och planerade att va har i 6 manader. Jag stod pa svensk mark den 6 juli och visste inte vad som skulle handa. Planerna blev snart att jag skulle flytta till Osterrike, start over and see what happens. Men, nagot sa mig att jag inte var klar med New York, sa i sista stund beslutade jag mig for att aka tillbaka hit och plotsligt hade jag bade papper och flygbiljett klart. Allt gick valdigt fort, men jag angrar mig inte for en sekund.  

Today it’s three years since I woke up in New York after a summer on Swedish ground. I came to NY on December 28, 2010 and was planning to stay for 6 months. I stood on Swedish ground July 6 and didn’t know what would happen. New plans was soon that I would move to Austria, start over and see what happens. But, something told me that I was not done with New York, so in the last minute I decided to go back here and suddenly I had both papers and a ticket ready. Everything went so fast, but I don’t regret it for a second.

Efter timmars vantan pa flygplatsen fick vi tillslut ga pa planet. Pa runway stangde de ner flygplatsen igen och vi hoppades att de inte skulle stalla in flyget. Det var namligen en hurricane pavag in fran alla hall och manga flyg langs ostkusten hade blivit installda. Men vi kom ivag. Wohoo!
Vi har sovit sa skont inatt. Och vi har redan hunnit springa en runda, jag gjorde lite styrka och nu vantar frukost. Yum!

After hours of waiting at the airport we finally got to board the plane. On the runway they shut down the airport again and we were hoping that they wouldn’t cancel the flight. It was a hurricane on its way from every direction and a lot of flights along the east coast got cancelled. But we got to fly. Wohoo!
We had a good night sleep. And we have already been out for a run, I did some workout and is breakfast waiting. Yum!
