Today was scheduled to be a day meeting with a local Native
American community to discuss climate change and environmental impacts.
Unfortunately, this event was canceled, which we discovered the day prior.
Thus, today would be a rest day. Perhaps this was for the better, given the
extremely rushed schedule we’ve been subjecting ourselves to over the last 2
weeks. The morning started out with usual work and emails. We got a
particularly exiting email this morning. Senator Barbara Boxer’s team reached
out to us, and wants us as guests on her podcast “Fight Back.” How exciting!
This will take place in early September. We’ll keep you all posted! Our AirBNB
was located a few blocks from Lake Michigan, and about an hour walk from
downtown. Instead of taking the car to downtown, we decided to take advantage
of the lake view and enjoy a nice stroll by foot. This was also the carbon-free
option! What a gorgeous day it was. Athina had never been to Chicago, so it was
exciting to show her around.
We had planned to have a nice dinner in town, but
unfortunately time sped by, and by the time we were done exploring, many
restaurants had closed. We were starving and quickly grew tired of searching
for restaurants. Thus, we ultimately found ourselves at Panda Express. Quite an
anticlimactic dinner, but so it goes. We capped the night by taking an elevator
90+ flights up to the top of the Hancock building to catch the panoramic view.
