Windy City

In Chicago this past week for work. It is a city that I like very much actually. So much to see and do downtown. Many buildings are old and very ornate. It is a downtown that a person can walk in with no trouble at all. I found myself walking many miles in the evenings.

Stayed at the Hilton on Michigan .... a grand, old hotel it is. The TV has a show about the history of the place - very impressive. The Grand Ballroom is beautiful and patterned after Versailles. My room was very nice - with two bathrooms. That was a first for me. I looked out on lake Michigan and Grant Park.

The city had lots of rain this past week - something I have been missing where I live. There was a terrible storm on Thursday evening. It forced me to seek out the Athletic club which was fabulous .... track, machines, pool, hot tub and a balcony to sit outside on.

My friend Alicia and I think this is a place to come visit as she has never been. Curiously enough J does not seem impressed with the town and it is way down on her list. I wish she liked it more and we could all see it together. Guess that is why there are so many places in the world for folks to spend time.
