Taxi.

So many buildings  with beautiful architecture. We were taking pictures of just about everything. 

Chicago's residents have a way of spotting a newcomer. Maybe because we looked so excited . Not that we have never been there before but it had been a long time since we left our home town. 

I suppose we all needed a break and a change of scenery. It was the perfect day to get away. Nice sunny day and the sky was clear.

My travels

Ok, so it was my birthday weekend and like I said "we enjoyed ourselves". My oldest daughter suggested that we take a river taxi to our destination. For some reason I feel safer riding in a car than a boat. I had never taken a water taxi before, but the experience was not bad ,even though I was a little scared. 

Chicago is such a beautiful city. I love the downtown area. 

This is our water taxi. I was happy to know that they have life guards on board.  I will be sitting close to a life guard just to be safe.

My travels

I love to travel and going to different places. So for my birthday weekend my daughters took me to Chicago. We spent the day sightseeing and I totally loved it. Being in Chicago makes me want to visit New York city. However I was so happy about being there and appreciating the day. I gave New York no thought.

For lunch we ate at a Spanish restaurant. The food was not that great but we had fun regardless. I was given a desert made with brandy which I liked.
