Sometimes all you want to do is get away from it all. Wouldn't it be nice to just get out of town for a bit? Take a break? Go on holiday?
That's exactly what we decided to do. With nothing to do on such a sunny Tuesday afternoon, we were both off from work, we chose to take a little vacation. So with the aid of our trusty 7 Day Passes we boarded the Red Line heading north, transferred to the Purple Line and stepped off of the train into beautiful downtown Evanston. Not the most exotic of locales, I'll grant you, but it was just what the doctor ordered. We had a great time strolling the streets, sitting in the park, and soaking up the local vibe. We had lunch, shopped a little, stayed for dinner and then drinks afterwards. 10 hours later we boarded the train heading back to the city with a bag full of goodies, and a smile on our faces; deliriously happy. (Of course that could have been the beer.)

Downtown E-ville is indeed nice. Frequented the area. Quaint and charming. Miss the place. Miss you man! Hope to see you sometime!

How wonderful! Evanston does seem like a whole different world. Denis and I did that one time too. We pigged out on all you could eat crab legs at Davis Street Fish Market, I bought a new cell phone, wondered around, drank too much and had to get a hotel room. Since they didn't rent by the hour at the Ramada we decided to stay all night. Watched some porn, ordered pizza. Evanston!!!
