A weary group of tourists awoke from their slumber at 5am to catch a flight from Vancouver to the Windy City, Chicago for the final leg of our tour. A large number of the boys used part of the four hour flight to catch up on the sleep they were deprived with the early start.
On arrival at Chicago airport we were me by Ryan McBride, an ex Ballynahinch rugby player who is now teaching in Chicago. He accompanied us to our accommodation which was in the lovely town of Naperville which is about 45 minutes outside of Chicago. We checked in to our rooms at the North Central College and then made our way into town for lunch. It was also a chance to explore the town of Naperville as it is much different to any of the places we have stayed so far.
Once lunch had settled the boys took part in a very good training session. This was the first one after the two matches which were so close together. The boys looked sharp as a number of them will play their last game of rugby for Down High School this coming Sunday.
Another visit to the town for dinner rounded off a long day. Tomorrow sees us further explore Naperville and join in the Independence Day celebrations.
