Walkn in the U.S.A. (2)

Early to Late Snaps.

Son Paul and I landed in Chicago last Monday, before noon. Once off the train we adjusted our backpacks, left Central Station and immediately started walkn south on Canal toward Roosevelt.

Paul had two destinations in mind before we checked into Essex Inn. Whole Foods (for solids) and Binny's (liquids).

We walked, tubed and bused Chicago until Saturday - toured the town and experienced (and relished) but 1% of what it offers the curious visitor - and arrived home early Sunday morning almost flat broke, with a few good stories to tell.

Like the time I met cousin Glenn Harrison at Jolly Pumpkin Pub in South Chicago. At first sight, we didn't think we were related. But, we got along very well, laughed at the same jokes, swapped business cards, and agreed to stay in touch.

Where's Waldo?

 Waldo wore a red jacket. Paul is lower right.

 My next house?

 Detail re two stairways. The slot (low, left of centre) is the first step down.

 "Dad, should we go in?" "Yes, just to check out the tin ceiling" ; )

Batman lives in Chicago?

Recommendations: Walk Chicago when possible. Visit Cultural Centre opposite Millennium Park.
