Milwaukee at last
10 May 07
Today we met Chicago; of course, parking cost more than lunch. We didn’t really research Chicago before we came, so today we just got a first taste, but it’s certainly a place we will have to come back to. I did get this great picture of tourists getting their picture taken.
And look, they left their pigeon behind!
This was in a cafe at the corner of Erie and St. Clair, which if you think about is kind of where we live. Jodi noticed that all the other women were wearing their purses over one shoulder while eating, which made her a little nervous, but not enough to clutch hers to her breast. We walked around Michigan Street, the so-called Miracle Mile, and discovered much to our disappointment that it wasn’t our kind of shopping. Imagine hoping to find Queen West and ending up at Bay and Bloor. Eventually we discovered a great little Thai restaurant called Dao:
We ate a very slow lunch, after which we pretty much had time only to go back to the car and head for Milwaukee, the slow way, up Sheridan gawking at houses and the Bahai Temple. A couple hours later and we’re with friends in Milwaukee and it feels almost as good as being home.
