Our computer died while we were in Chicago, so this blog post is being done in retrospect, after we have returned home. We're sure to forget details!
While in Chicago, we stayed with Tasha and Ewan in their delightful apartment on the edge of Old Town. It's very convenient to shops, Tasha's work and mass transit. (Not that we took mass transit often. Tasha and Ewan preferred to walk our feet off...)
Here's Ewan making us a terrific breakfast the first morning of scrambled eggs and sausage on toast spread with avocados...delicious!
We tried to take a tour of Wrigley field, but unfortunately it was closed for a private event, and the Cubs were on the road.
Nice of the Cubs to welcome Ewan and Tasha....Isn't this a great example of photo shop?
Ewan took us to his office....a small 3 person affair. Apparently Tasha doesn't like his Newcastle memorabilia?
Walking downtown, under the circle of elevated trains made famous in many movies.
Lincoln Park, with skyscrapers in the background and within walking distance to the apt.
Don't know the name of this fellow, but we thought he was cute.
We also walked through the zoo on our way to Millennium Park, and caught a quick glimpse of these flamingos.
Don't they look happy (how those Brits must maintain the "keep calm" attitude)?
It was finally time to WALK home. Again...
