Here's just a few photos taken from the last few days wandering round campus and the lakefront. The NU campus is pretty big and wherever you wander in Evanston, you'll often find university buildings that have taken up residence in houses around the campus area. Evanston itself is not so big and seems to consist mostly of restaurants in the downtown area. It's been a nice relaxing few days, settling in and finding my way around. Weather has been really variable, sometimes warm, sometimes, chilly, sunny, rainy, thundery all in the space of a day. I am however looking forward to next week, to finally get into the rhythm of working full time again.

| I am super impressed at the selection of microbrews on offer. Some of these are very local and others are from not so far away. I think this store is going to be my go to place for beer! At $8-12 a six pack its not so bad for decent stuff. |

| My spoils from my shop at Whole Foods and D&D Finer Foods (the place with the wicked beer selection). |
 |
| My current set of flatmates - we went out to Prairie Moon in town for some food and a beer. See the dark beer in the middle? It's called Dragon's Milk and is aged in Bourbon casks with chili. The kick is not only from the chili but also in the fact that it is 11%! |

| My local beach next to Lake Michigan, found it on my morning run :) |
