Saint Patrick’s Day - Chicago (2024)
Chi’s annual Saint Patrick’s Day celebration took place in the city of Chicago, and he was once again joined by his friend. It had been a while since the pair went down to Savanah, Georgia for the same occasion and the mode of transportation was the same, American rail. They took the Amtrak Lake Shore Limited originating at Boston and hopping on at Springfield, Massachusetts. After a few rounds of beer and a good night sleep, they woke up right on time to join in the festivities.
