Apple Fest and More

Went to the Lincoln Square neighborhood for Apple Fest.
It was a great day and a nice festival.
We decided not to get back on the train and instead, began walking towards the Loop.


Along the way we stopped at a grocery store to use the bathroom and I found this $10 bill in my stall!


Walked past this flag.


Noticing how close we had gotten to the Green Mill,  we decided to try to get in, even though the show had started about 15 minutes earlier. It was standing room only but not nearly as crowded as usual and to our great surprise, we ended up getting seats at the bar after the first intermission.



After the show we got an excellent Ethiopian dinner at the restaurant across the street. When we started the day, we had no idea how it would turn out!



 

Fun Weekend

Had a fun weekend with our friends who came up to visit 2 weeks ago.

Last Weekend

Forgot to post these from last weekend, so here they are now. Went to an artist’s talk at the Art Institute then walked along the lakefront on a gorgeous end of summer day.

Sunday Wander

Sunday, we went to the Jane Addams Hull House Museum, which was very interesting. Afterwards we walked back a different way and came upon Union Station, which was a cool building. Then we happened on to a festival in Greektown.











 

Taste of Chicago part 2

While downtown we explored a new area and saw these cool stained glass windows on the tallest church in Chicago. 
We stopped at the bar in the train station on our way home.
Then later saw a play called “East Texas Hot Links”. It was very well done.
