Saturday, our AMSA chapter embarked on a daytrip to Chicago. Nine of us departed campus just prior to 8:30. We took two cars, mine and Holly’s. We stopped for lunch at Baker’s Square in Merrillville, then drove on to the near-northside, ‘Old Chicago’, neighborhood in which the International Museum of Surgical Science is located. The museum is housed in a 1910 mansion on North Lake Shore Drive. It is beautiful, and has marvelous views of the lake, as well as four floors loaded with surgical/medical devices and information from around the world. We explored the museum on our own for a while, then went on a guided tour. Afterwards, we embarked on a search for that kind of pizza pie one can only find in Chicago. After asking a couple of locals for guidance, we ended up at Giordano’s at the intersection of Chicago and Rush. What an excellent pizza pie! We then hurried back to the cars as the city begins towing at 6:00 pm in our location. We made it with five minutes to spare! We then headed home for a good night’s sleep.
Thanks to everyone who went on the trip with us. We had a fabulous time and hope to sponsor further educational trips in the near future!
