we walked along the water to navy pier and explored the magnificent mile.  i bought a pair of vintage cowboy boots (just in time for texas!).

  1. OMG, I love those boots - maybe you can be a cowgirl for saints and sinners! I also love that O'Keeffe and I love that Seurat! Pointillism!

  2. Rachel..............I loved our travels on Amtrak and in Chicago. Chicago is such a fantastic city. (You could start a business where you travel with moms and help them navigate urban public transportation with your Droid!)

    Thanks to Clare and Julia for their great hospitality in Hyde Park and for all the fresh fruit!

    May all your train trip adventures continue to be magical.
