Chicago, In Pictures

As promised, a separate post of some of the beautiful things we experienced in Chicago. With good friends Marlynn & Kathy, I enjoyed fine art, street art, architecture, high tea, modern dance and the original Uno's pizzeria to name some of the highlights:

I LOVE public transportation!

Marlynn & I enjoying the Tiffany Dome at the Cultural Center

In a world of concrete, planters were everywhere

Chicago River from the Magnificent Mile

Trump Tower was my favorite architectural design

Day 2: Kathy & I waiting for the train

Art Institute

Got our Seurat on.

Chagall's Windows (1 of 3) were stunning

They had a great collection of O'Keeffe...

...Tiffany too.

Afternoon Tea at The Drake Hotel

After the marathon was over, we watched Hubbard Street Dance perform their fall series. So beautiful. I found this short clip that gives just a taste of what we enjoyed:

The final day I was on my own and walked off my soreness by seeing more of the city:

The Bean

I didn't know it started here

Mosaic near our El station

Flowers near Lakeshore Drive high rises

Navy Pier attractions

Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows

I loved Chicago and can see why it's called the Second City to New York. I look forward to going back again someday and enjoying more of it's delights. I think I just scratched the surface in my three days there.

Happy Trails,
