ciao, chicago

on our last morning in the windy city, mom and i bid farewell to julia, our gracious hostess, and had a cup of coffee downtown.

we took an architectural boat tour on the chicago river and heard the stories behind the city's skyscrapers.

 








then mom boarded the capitol limited to lancaster and i settled into the austin-bound texas eagle.

  1. So sad to say good-bye to the windy city and to rachelridesthetrain. On my return trip, I felt like the Queen of England riding in the sleeper car.

  3. Wish I could've been here! While you were hiking city streets, I was hiking mountain trails. Great photos of Chicago!
