In Chicago and LOVING IT!

Activities have included:

Riding lots of trains (ie the El and Metra…back and forth back, and forth…not complaining )

Walking through the Taste of Chicago festival and down to Navy Pier (all the while acquiring a nasty sunburn in the lovely v-neck shape of my shirt)

Eating lots of great food: Thai, Indian, Irish (really just a burger at an “Irish” pub), French, Mexican, McEneely fare….and some superb grits

Shopping – Purchases so far: new makeup (after a very educational “make-over” at the Clinique counter); dress ( I love forever21) and a blue bead necklace

Walking (it’s good for ya, right?)

Visiting a church – Pilgrim Lutheran (www.pilgrimchurchandschool.org) – interesting, but definitely not one to keep on the list

Being amazed at the “other side” of Chicago — this city never ceases to impress (it has it’s downsides to be sure, but all in all not a bad place to be)

And more to come!
