I got in on Thursday the 16th and it was a busy weekend after that. Thursday I checked in with the LA Rotaract club, and then there was a Rotaract social at the Excaliber that night.
Friday the conference started about 8am, and went all day! Friday night was the Gala Social, which was a lot of fun!
Then Sat morning was the Rotary parade. We only caught the tail end of it, but it was awesome, aparently there were 220,000 people that showed up to see it, bigger than the St. Patricks Day parade.
Sat night we just went to Navy Peir and saw a wonderful fireworks show!!! Then Sunday Antonia and I spent most of the day in the house of Friendship (where all sorts of booths from anything to everything is there)... then made our way to Greek Town for some lunch!
Sunday night was the Rotary Planerary session, which was awesome and that didn't end until 10pm, then we hung out and got up early on Monday for our last day in town and went on the Architectural Boat tour down the Chicago River. After that we had just enough time to grab lunch and head back to the airport!
