Chicago 2009

I finally get back to Chicago to meet up with my old friends James and Tiffany Hoffman, two very tough Chicagoans. Thanks to some pre planning on James and my behalf, and due in part to Tiffany having the week off - we managed to complete my previous tours of Chicago with trips to the Field Museum, Wrigley Field, Taste of Chicago and a boat tour along the Chicago River resulting in an excellent nighttime view of some of the most spectacular structures in the United States. As always, I had a great time in one of my favorite cities.

Something I never get to enjoy here in the lower Midwest - a subway ride to downtown.
