Hi again everyone! Sorry about the long silence. School started again and with the return of students comes the retreat of my free time (and sanity).
But it's about time to start daydreaming about summer. My brother is getting married in June (unlike my other brother he's sensibly getting married when I don't have to take time off). I'm thinking of making it into a train trip, since the wedding is in Lafayette, Indiana. I may take the 6 to Chicago, bum around there with my Chicagoan friend for a while, then take the train down to Lafayette.
My question is, is there any benefit to taking the Cardinal over the Hoosier State if it's such a sort jaunt? I really have nothing planned so day of the week doesn't matter much.
Also, since I have no agenda I could venture up into Michigan or something before heading down. Any fun places to visit maybe just for a night, within a few hours of Chicago that I shouldn't miss?
I look forward to the expertise of the collective!
