Thanks to those who submitted a guess for our latest destination (Martha and Emily). I had to laugh at your guesses, since it seems that you think we are smart and that we would go somewhere warm like New Orleans or Florida. NOPE!
We are in Chicago! And we are freezing! Ha!
We like it here, but the weather turned cold just before we left St. Louis, so we really aren’t used to winter conditions yet. But we are bundling up and getting out for a bit of fun every day. We have done a few fun things already. We went to stand-up comedy at The Second City. We went to Chinatown on Thanksgiving, had sushi, and wandered around the market. We had dinner and enjoyed the live music (Tom Holland, guitar) at House of Blues. We did a (very cold) Architecture Boat Tour on the Chicago River and it was excellent. We’ll be here for another week, so more fun to come!
Have a great week and stay warm!
To the North!
Here are some highlights from the first half of our Scandinavian cruise. We sailed from Southampton and had stops in Denmark, Germany, and Sweden. We also had an unexpected change of plans.
To Madrid
This week we finished off our Spanish tour in Madrid, then set out for the north.
Spanish Steps
We’ve had an exciting week driving and walking around in Spain. We started off with a few days of hiking in the Pyrenees, then we spent time in Basque country and Galicia. We’ve had lots of adventures, so this is a longer post.
Chicago! Love it there. You’re close to my Quinn! (He’s up the road in Evanston @ Northwestern.) Now go somewhere warm. 😊
