     As I write this I'm sitting on the Megabus to Chicago.
     I point this out only to show how good the WIFI  is on the Megabus.  Sometimes.

​        I wrote the above yesterday as Tom, Tommy and I were on our way to Chicago to visit our daughter Claire and son-in-law Miguel.

​   The Megabus, our super-comfy preferred mode of transportation for travelling from Columbus to Chicago, was actually our second, nay third bus of the day, the first being the Columbus city COTA bus which we hopped at the stop down the torn-up block from our street.

​     Our second bus we caught at the corner of Hamilton and East Broad Street in Whitehall,

  ​...in front of the best Thrift Store in Columbus, reminding me that I must return here one of these days for some thrifting.

​   This bus dropped us off at Broad and High in downtown Columbus, from whence we walked down High Street past the Ohio Statehouse.
Picture
 ...which the Plaça Catalunya in Barcelona reminded me of when Tom and I were there a couple of weeks ago,

...to the Megabus stop at the corner of Third and Rich Streets.

...where we waited with our fellow travellers until the Megabus arrived to pick us up,

Picture
....and drop us off in front of Union Station in Chicago, from where we took the subway,
Picture
....to the Damen stop in Wicker Park,
Picture
...then walked a block to our favorite Chicago hostel, the IHSP,
Picture
....where we were greeted by our friendly, helpful, hard-working, happy hostel hosts, Sam Strader, right,  and Josh, left.
