Waiting in Chicago, ORD

The adventure begins.

I am almost too tired to function, but I'm trying to keep myself in this drowsy state, just like a smoldering flame lingering before it goes out, so that I will sleep well on my flight from Houston to Rio de Janeiro.

 I wonder how many people are in the airport at a given time. 3,000? 5,000?  Enough to form a small city living off of overpriced bananas and frappucinos.

Here's what ORD looks like (Chicago O'Hare).  Rather, here's what ORD looks like when you are walking and trying to take pictures with your phone inconspicuously.  I like the fourth one down.

Houston (IAH) is my next destination!
