Thursday was the last full day we had in Chicago, Jeff came to the down town with me and Greta. The train was especially cold that day and we were all especially sleepy that day.
We started at the office with drawing thank-you cards for Dream Leaders and WorldChicago. Jeff helped us with drawing the flags. Afterwards we presented our action plans and filled in the evaluation sheets. Lisa and Meagan and Lauri and Zane also gave us some feedback on our projects.
For lunch we went to the Navy Pier. We had about two hours there and ofc we went to the Billy Goat Tavern. We all got a double cheezeborger, it was good. For dessert I had some divine Ben & Jerrys and afterwards did some souvenir shopping.
We took a bus to the riverside to go on a boat cruise. We met the British group who just started their program with WorldChicago and both of the groups went on the cruise. We saw all the buildings on the riverside and their stories, went on Lake Michigan and got a bit wet and took some awesome pictures.
In the evening we had a farewell dinner at the Cultural Center with hosts and Dream Leaders. It was so nice to see Kyree again and all the other Dream Leaders and I also got to meet some other hosts. We got our certificates and and saw the documentaries (Abby did a really god job and all the groups too). We thanked each other and said a little something we had learned or experienced and then had some deep dish pizza, a must in Chicago. We took a lot of pictures and chatted with the Dream Leaders. I think that the time we spent in Chicago is going to be the best of all, because the Dream Leaders were just such an inspiring group of young people and I'm so gonna miss them.
We walked to our car and on our way we also passed the transformers scene. At home (I already call it home, cause it felt like that) we had some cherries and I ate some Rocky Road ice cream, that we don't have in Estonia. We changed our contacts and chatted and packed and went to bed.
