city in the rain

 It's been years since I've been in Chicago proper --- just a 

stone's throw from where I grew up. 

But I found myself there the end of last week and
remembered what a friendly city it is ... and so easy to get around.  

While our husbands were absorbed in meetings, a friend and 

I took the train in and looked around, drank a coffee,

and did the Art Museum (which I've never seen before with 

an artist ... wow did she teach me a lot!)

I seemed to have new eyes to see things,

and this is one of my new favorites.

 I popped out of the museum to walk a few blocks to eat lunch 

 with my sister who works in a very tall building. 

It was a cloudy day and turned into a rainy day. I didn't mind it a bit.

 In fact, I loved walking in the (chilly) rain! 

  The lights came on and the reflection on the pavement was beautiful.

 We crammed a lot into the weekend and I'm a tad tired 

 but am enjoying catching up on my blog reading!
