Last week I had the good fortune to be teaching at the Create Retreat in the Chicago suburbs. Of course as usual, I was so busy teaching, I totally forgot to take pictures of my class room, the students or their projects. Sorry....
How about I make it up to you with some lovely pictures of Chicago?
I taught both my classes on Wednesday and on Thursday I had a day to play hookey. So I took myself and my traveling buddy Irene on the town. I have never been to Chicago before and thoroughly enjoyed playing the tourist, taking pictures at every corner, walking around looking up, stopping short and generally annoying the natives!
Feast you eyes and enjoy!

Great pictures! I haven't been to Chicago for a while but that is how I felt about it too - a very cool city and the mid-west people are very friendly!
Ah, now you understand what I've been gushing about all these years....
