Chicago

We arrived in Chicago yesterday. Our friend Wayne Curley had showed us pictures of the Chicago bean in Millennium Park, so we had to see it for ourselves. Here is a picture of Gina impersonating Super Woman. Her outfit needs work but she has the flying down!

This picture and the next one are amorphous images taken within the guts of the bean. Can you find us? Look for Gina on the left side in the first one. In the second one, I'm the person at the apex of the triangle of people in the center.

We had excellent tapas at Mercat a la Planxa...reminded us of El Puerto de Santa Maria, only the food here was much better than any restaurant there. Chorizo, tortilla, queso, aceitunas y vino...claro!

The lovely lady below with a tree growing out the top of her head lives just down the block from our hotel on S. Michigan Ave.

Tomorrow we'll be driving to South Dakota with a stop in Des Moines to buy provisions for a four or five day stay at a remote campground in the Badlands. I’m looking forward to some prairie dog stew.
