Arrival at Chicago

After some delay trying to reach each other’s cel phone at the airport, NIU driver Reid McAllister and Ayomi and Bidou finally met up. Reid brought them to DeKalb where we got them set up with a rental car and into their apartment (thanks Michele and University Heights Apartments!). Helen Nagata had dropped off a basket of essentials (green tea, miso soup, rice crackers) and Christmas cookies before she went for a family visit in California. A quick trip to Shnuck’s grocery and Duck Soup Co-op and then these two travelers needed to rest (and get a local cel phone).
