Chicago

Celebrating Father's Day 

I hope you enjoy the pics from our recent trip to Chicago. There is always so much going on. I love the different neighbor hoods; so much to explore there. A fantastic city. If you have never been there, you might want to plan a visit.

We are still having a heat wave with temps in the 100's. AC and fans are almost running constantly.

My current summer read: The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani. I have read all of her books and can only recommend them.

Great new blog I love, Chrige's Art, check it out.

Enjoy your weekend!
An easy way to get around in Chicago.

    Heidi, Chicago is one of my favorite cities. The Chicago Art Institute is a favorite. I do hope I get to go this summer for a couple of days. I always love to see what you are reading. Bonnie

    Lovely photos, Heidi. I have never visited the US, but a dear friend's grand daughter is transferring to Chicago shortly. I can't wait to tell her how pretty it looks.

    So schön deine Bilder von Chicago liebe Heidi. Eine für mich fremde Welt und deshalb umso interessanter.

    Herzliche Grüsse

    I want one of those, too !!!

    Liebe Heidi,
    Deine Fotos sind so toll und geben einem 'a little glimpse' von Deiner wundervollen Nachbarschaft.
    Meine Jüngste wird nun, nach dem sie ihr Abitur bestanden hat (bin-so-stolz), mit ihrem Papa, nach New York und dann noch nach Californien fliegen. Ich beneide sie wirklich sehr um diese Reise ;)

    Ich wünsche Dir einen wundervollen Sonntag
    liebe Grüße
    Ivonne

    Hi Heidi,
    Your pictures are looking great. I've never been to Chicago but my daughter went there last year for a holiday and absolutely loved it.
    There are so many parts of the States I would love to visit - but it is quite a long way from Scotland, lol.

    Great pictures! The truth is Chicago doesn't get as much exposure as other major American cities, so thank you for this post!
    Happy Sunday! ;)

    I'd have thought you'd want one of the boats too, not just the bike.

    Lovely pics, so much blue sky! None of that round here. Just as well you went to live in the US not the UK.

    Hallo Heidi
    habe gerade ausgerechnet wie lange es her ist, seit ich einmal in Chicago war ... und stell dir vor ich bin auf ca. 35 Jahre gekommen.
    Meiner Erinnerungen sind schon ziemlich verblasst ...merci für die kleine Auffrischung ; )
    ♥-liche Grüsse Brigitte
