I can't feel my nose...

or my fingers or my toes...

"Jared, find me some sun... look, a patch of light, lets walk down that street!" RIDICULOUSLY cold, BUT, we realized that speed walking and intermittent pit stops in coffee shops helped keep us from hypothermia. I still can't believe Jared went running in shorts this morning- crazy :)



The architectural boat tour was phenomenal, despite the cold. I can now point out a modernist, post-modernist, and art deco building. The boat took us on the river and canals that wind through the city and only add to its spectacular grandeur. Plus, in the 80's, the mayor mandated that every building already built and every future building must provide a river walk area, so there is this continuous path along the water's edge that changes in size, shape and character depending on the building that provided it.... sooo cool.

After grabbing lunch at an Armenian restaurant for hot soup and schwarma, we power walked to Millennium park. It was a long park with various features such as fountains, tennis courts, artistic bridges, paths, this huge mirror that looked like a bean (Jared has some crazy video of that), extremely fat squirrels and a massive metal amplitheater structure that looked like it was a prop in the latest transformer movie; I just pictured it twisting and turning to create one of those crazy robots that would dominate the world... seriously, look at the picture below!

We're defrosting right now before heading to the Hancock building for a drink with a view and then to a pizza place, recommended by Anne and Gavin, to watch the UNC game.

Good news: Day 3 and we still love each other :)
