It was warm in San Diego and quite cold coming back to Chicago. Though things are much more relaxed in Chicago than Cali. Less stressed out people over here and less congested.

So yes, totally different climate and 'look' to the environments, but I'm suprised that Chicago is more relaxed than San Diego, not suprised about the congestion though...

What about winter in Chicago though. Doesn't get you too down with all the cold, snow and dark days?
