a tourist in your own town

saturday we rode the train downtown. It was bright and sunny out, making the city look overly bright and shiney.

we decided to go to milenium park to see the bean.

see what 26 million buys the city of chicago?

we even walked over the river (look how fast they are building trump tower!)

we even went to the sanrio store...look everyone NAT SMILES WHEN HE SEES HELLO KITTY!!!

we went to buy nat some reflectors for his bike. i think the el tracks can look lovely sometimes

they also have really nice doorways in uptown real fancy-pants like this one

we also did some other things...like wander into Tea Gschwender and sniffed many different kinds of tea. I also bought a few black teas, and nat bought several aromatic teas. We also saw thank you for smoking, which i think is great and think you should catch it if you can. well anyways these photographs are going into accordian books i am making for my digital picture swap pals. (again on swap bot) so i hope they will like them. and i hope you did too.

I love being a tourist in my own city so I think this is great! I’ve never been to Chicago and therefore wasn’t aware of the GIGANTIC BEAN! LOL

I want to see Thank You for Smoking, but I guess I’ll have to wait for the DVD. :(

LOVE the pictures - haven’t been there in years and it looks as great as ever and what a gorgeous day!!!!!

p.s. i go by jennifer as well and am always astonished when people just throw around “jen” like they’ve known me forever. if i’ve done that to you, so sorry - i so agree! :-)

I love the idea of being a tourist in your own town, and may have to emulate you this weekend!

Also - LOVE the bean....
I don’t know if I love it $26 million worth, but it’s still pretty cool.
one question though, who has to keep it clean and how do they do it? (I guess that’s 2 questions...)

I mean, the bean looks all shiney and lovely - that can’t be low-maintenance....
