Moving to Baltimore

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Today is my last day in Chicago. Tomorrow I move to Baltimore to begin my postdoc at Johns Hopkins University. I am sad to leave my husband, my cat, the great restaurants in Chicago, my research at Northwestern (in order of importance) but I look forward to future adventures. Baltimore should have some fresh seafood and cost of living is lower than in Chicago. I hope my husband can get his research done at UIC and join me soon. Until then, I plan to make frequent trips back to Chicago and continue to try new restaurants and explore both cities.

Some great info about Baltimore that I’ve found (in case you come to visit me):

At Mercat a la Planxa. We ate a whole suckling pig. Ben and I had leftover pulled pork sandwiches tonight. YUM!
