Summer Jaunt in Chicago
Before winter erases all traces of summer and its memories I'll blog our summer jaunt.

W and I drove to Chicago in July to meet a relative, renew acquaintances with my batchmates in high school (was that 33 summers ago?!!?), update a soon to expire public document and explore Chicago's Magnificent Mile, parks and museums. The itinerary ran very much in that order except for the explorations that was done in between doing the first three business.

Moi and my best-half, rightmost pair, and my batchmates with their spouses. More mature? and responsible?...May..be...taken at Cyril's home, center pair; Rollie and spouse leftmost

For those interested in architecture, ye all archi students, Chicago is the place to tour. It's architecture is a mixture of the old and contemporary. A "living" museum of buildings showing the various architectural styles through the years. Ornate art deco to glass facade. It was unfortunate that I was not able to check out any of Frank Lloyd Wright's residential buildings...arrgh@!*#!





These pictures don't do justice (I need to improve on my "digital" photo skills) to the buildings' "awesomeminity". Take a river architectural tour and your tour guide will run you through the buildings' history. 'Nuff said.

Almost forgot, our first itinerary was dinner at Todai.. Can't get enough of those Japanese food and W was looking forward to it. Burrpp...Thank You
