the L

Short for “elevated”, Chicagoans are always talking about taking the “L” to this, or, that destination.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with some dear friends, and afterwards we were taken to the basement of their beautiful home where we visited a fantastic, gigantic, wonderful small world…

We have lived in the Midwest for about 26 years now, so Chicago is getting really close to becoming – dare this native New Yorker say it? – my home town! I mean no disrespect New York, and you will always be king of the hill, A-number one, top of the heap…. but Chicago has kind of crept into my heart. There….. I said it.

How fun would it have been to ride in this beauty? Taken at The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, IL.

My colleaugues and I went to Chicago last week to celebrate the birthday of our lead pastor. We spent some time at the Field Museum and then went to Daley Plaza to enjoy Christkindlmarket Chicago. Took lots of shots and I will be posting a few of them here over the next week or so. Hope you enjoy.

Chicago METRA trains are quite cool. This is my preferred method of getting to the heart of the windy city!
