Yeah, Chicago traffic. This was at
the Indiana-Illinois border. I was rushing to attempt to make it to downtown in
time for an Architectural tour of Chicago... alas, the traffic got the best of
me. |
At the bar, waiting for a table in a
classy Mexican restaurant. Apparently the chef is quite famous and has his own
TV show, but I don't remember his name. |
Still waiting - check out that giant
dragon hanging from the ceiling! |
Karen, Richard and me in Estell's.
Karen is, um, enjoying her Old Style. |
Vicky's here, too! Though this bar
was hot and smelled a bit like vomit, so we did not stay very long. |
"Brunch" the next morning, but the
restaraunt doesn't serve brunch on weekdays, so we all had to settle for
sandwiches. |
Vicky isn't pleased about this
whole sandwich thing. |
Walking along the Chicago River.
Karen is giving me a recap of the missed architectural tour. |
"Vicky, stop that!!!" |
This giant fountain sprays across
the Chicago River once an hour: we were lucky and caught it! |
This fountain is so cool, Karen
needed to join the picture, too. |
Me, too! |
More of the same fountain, but this
part is on all the time! |
Vicky and Richard on the Ferris
wheel at Navy Pier. |
Karen and me! |
Apartments |
The John Hancock building. I can even see the
building I used to live in, when I lived on Lake Shore Drive. |
The Amoco and Prudential buildings -
I used to work in the Prudential building for Amoco. |
Richard and Karen on Navy Pier,
which appears to have more shops and bars again. Always evolving! |
Vicky enjoying a Foster's
topped. |
Waiting for the train at an old El station. |
Karen approaching Richard ... |
Attack! |
Vicky giving Basil some
loving. |
Richard and Vicky, preparing the
BBQ. |
Vicky pointing out that she can see
the Sear's Tower from her balcony. |
Waiting for the burgers to
cook. |
Almost ready! |
A few beers later, we start playing UNO and with
our cheap "firecrackers" (poppers). |
Me and Karen, enjoying our rousing
game of UNO. |
Yeah, confetti crap! |
Vicky's a pretty princess! |
me and Karen again. |
| |
Richard and Karen get us to play
Taboo (mostly they are making fun of me and Vicky) |
