" Greetings from Chicago! Everyone&amp;#039;s still sleeping, and I thought I&amp;#039;d post a quick update while I had my morning coffee.  My flight got in yesterday afternoon. Ben and Mitchell were waiting for me at the airport, and after depositing my bags in the trunk of Mitchell&amp;#039;s girlfriend&amp;#039;s beat up old Volkswagen, we drove to the apartment he&amp;#039;s temporarily sharing with her and a roommate in Lincoln Park. I dropped off my stuff, freshened up, and then we left the car and walked out to get lunch.  &amp;quot;Cara is at work,&amp;quot; he explained on the walk, referring to his girlfriend. &amp;quot;I drove her in this morning so I could take the car. And Desiree, her roommate, is in Indianapolis this weekend visiting her family.&amp;quot; It was a short trip to our destination, a Hawaiian joint. I was excited, as I&amp;#039;d never eaten Hawaiian food, and from what little I had heard about it\u2014plate lunches featuring seemingly random combinations of foods from different cultures, and poi\u2014I was intrigued. Even more intriguing? How many dishes on the menu contained SPAM, and how hard Mitchell was trying to convince us to order them. After lunch, we wandered around the neighborhood, and Mitchell and Ben, both of whom were acting like they&amp;#039;d been in Chicago forever instead of three weeks and four days, respectively, pointed out landmarks. When we got back to the apartment, Cara was home from work, and we sat around for a couple of hours, drinking beer and chatting. I feel like a traitor to Ursula saying this, but Cara is kind of cool. And really funny. And she and Mitchell have this chill, easy vibe with each other. If I were meeting them for the first time, I&amp;#039;d think they&amp;#039;d been together for years. I hadn&amp;#039;t expected that.  When it was time for dinner, Cara and Mitchell faux bickered over where to take us for deep-dish pizza. &amp;quot;Who&amp;#039;s the Chi-Town native here?&amp;quot; Cara asked, effectively winning the argument. We hopped on the train because everyone had been drinking and made our way to the restaurant. I am digging both Chicago and Cara so far, but I have to say, when it comes to pizza? I am a thin-crust girl, through and through. Today, sightseeing and then a just-the-two-of-us date with Ben. He says we&amp;#039;re going somewhere awesome. Hmm, where could it be? I can&amp;#039;t wait. Posted at 8:01 AM "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
