Chicago river front

Hallo,
Well the last of my pics for you (I took a ton more but decided to just show you a 'few' :).
And again I loaded them backwards - this first picture was Clark street where I cut off from the river and headed north back to my hotel..... but you get the idea......
I got home yesterday without event . Today I am doing laundry and a bit of house cleaning, sent my Mom her Mother's Day package (sorry Mom - going to be a bit late :).
I am planning on heading to the craft room in a few minutes - I brought all kinds of craft stuff to do while in Chicago but between walking and taking pictures and classes all day - I never managed to do any of it....
All for now - Take Care

Walkin' Chicago

Hallo,
Lots and lots of walking today!!!!
My conference ended at 1 pm today and I decided to walk back to my hotel.....it was sunny, just a touch cool and not too windy (for Chicago anyway - I got windburned last friday on my first venture out walking...).
The pics arenot in order - I goofed - I walked from the convention center, up through the park to the fountain and then to Millennium Square.....
I love how there are all these wonderful old buildings right next to bright and shiny steel skyscrapers.
It took me about 3 and 1/2 hours to get back to my hotel but I did stop to take alot of pictures on the way....as you can tell (I have one more batch to edit from today that I will probably show you on saturday).
All for today - Take Care

Chicago

Hallo,
As you can see by the post I am in Chicago - attending NTI which stands for National Teaching Institute - 6 days of Critical Care specific classes and other events too.
I had a little time to walk around town friday afternoon when I got here but really hadn't taken too many pics yet.
One thing I found curious was all the old water towers - there were too many of them around town for them to be not in use - course maybe some are and some not....
These first 2 I found right across the street from the convention center - not sure where I was with the second and the third is right downtown just a block or 2 from the river.

I left the beginings of summer in Florida to a nice cool spring just getting underway here in Chicago. There are alot of tulips and daffodils and the trees are only just begining to bud.
The flowering tree is in front of a brownstone only a block from my hotel and it literally sits within inches of a bright shiny steel highrise.
I have found a great little Italian resterant only 2 blocks from my hotel that is very yummy.
All for today..
Take Care
