Sunday in Chicago

ORS
Sunday morning I spent at the ORS conference in the McCormick Place while Erika explored the city a bit. We met up back at the hotel and then crossed Michgan Ave to the "Mall" which was pretty interesting. Since real estate is at such a premium in the city, the designers created an 8-story vertical mall, with a food court on top. We ate at a Japanese fast food place, then I had to head back to the conference.

Poster session
A little later, Erika caught the bus to the conference and we met up for the poster reception. We ran into a few friends including my old professor from UTK, Mehran Kasra. Then I stood by my poster answering questions for a while and Erika headed to the airport to fly home. After the poster session I took the bus back to the hotel and crashed.
