101st Race to Mackinac

Monday
Worked from 9am-9:30pm. There is actually a yacht race conducted by Chicago Yacht Club going on these few days so a lot of ppl were expected to be on the island. At the Bistro, we wore t-shirts bearing the co-sponsor 'Mount Gay Rum (Barbados)' logo. We were also allowed to wear our own jeans or berms to work. We had a special BBQ buffet and limited menu for the guests. But after an hour of opening, the kitchen stove broke down and we only had the BBQ buffet for the rest of the day. Took some pictures during the day.

Business wasn't as good as expected though and we started to do closing at around 8pm. Alex and I went to find the rest of the people who had gone to eat at Goodfellow's. After that some of us went to Sinclair's (Irish pub) for another bar experience.

Tuesday
Worked from 9am-9:30pm. It was pretty much the same as the previous day so nothing much to write about except that there was a short spell of rain in the afternoon but we continued to operate nevertheless.

On Wednesday evening, Alex and I will be setting off for our 2nd road trip to Chicago with 9 other Taiwanese. This time Alex and I will be driving 1 vehicle each. Our plan is to explore Chicago for the 1st 2 days and we'll be gg to the same outlet stores as last time for some shopping on the final day b4 returning to the island. Will update more on the trip when I'm back.
