Jameson and I enjoyed one last day in Chicago. We had breakfast at Waffles and dinner at a new place called Asian Outpost. It was a cold rainy night so we were both in the mood for something hot and savory. Enter tonkotsu ramen!

In between these two meals we just relaxed. There were a lot of shows this past week and we definitely needed to recoup a bit. Just as we were getting ready for bed, we received notice that everyone on the train was required to get a mandatory PPD test first thing in the morning. We were worried because we weren't on the train, but were told that other arrangements had been made for people traveling overland.
The next day we drove the three hours to Indianapolis. As soon as we reached the train we were greeted by our General Manager, who gave us directions to a clinic where we'd get our tests done. Since the PPD takes 48-72 hours to get results, we both had to get chest x-rays too. I didn't have to get a PPD because I'd had one last December, for the elephant walk. The x-ray was easy, and I even had a chance to look at mine before the next person came in. Pretty neat! The nurse pointed out my heart and lungs, and said that I might be able to get a copy once everything has been processed. I hope so!
After that, Jameson and I got groceries and finally unpacked, and relaxed.
