USA, 2010
I am on the train from Mountain View in Silicon Valley to San Francisco. Finally this gives me the chance to write again. I had hoped to go to the Computer History Museum before heading back to the city, but it is closed for renovation. Maybe next time.
Last week in Chicago was very busy. It is quite a beautiful city, with lots of gleaming skyscrapers, as well as the river running through it and the shoreline of Lake Michigan. There is also a lot of green space. I think they have been trying hard to shake their historical reputation as a city of gangs and mobsters.
