got our stuff together
and marked the bus stop
as Jane waited for the bus
and I read the sign
and next thing we knew we were in the terminal looking at the wares
at Seattle's Best
where Jane had a bagel
and I had a large decaf
before we went over to the other side and landed in O'Hare where the hallways were busy
as I waited at the Dunkin Donut
for Jane
and we rode the bus together as I took this self portrait
and then this woman at Hertz
rented us this car
with these Florida plates
so that we could drive to Evanston and find parking at our hotel
and then find our way to our room
where this was the view
Next we headed out to lunch at the Greek place where this was the menu
and Jane
and I
were happy to see the condiments
as I ordered my Greek salad
which came with pita bread
and dressing on the side
and she had her burger
which the waitress
took care of as she took our picture
On our way to the Northwestern campus, this girl
asked to interview Jane for her journalism project
and then we found the campus
and made our way through the exercise course
to the lake and the beach
where people were bathing
as we looked north to the point
and south to the Chicago skyline
as we walked around and found a small whirlpool
and a very calm lake of beautiful colors
before taking the tour.
After the tour, we passed Urban Outfitters
on our way to a creamery (which turned out to be the wrong creamery)
we approached the creamery
checked out the menu
and the specials
and then Jane got this ice cream cone
and we had these drinks
while recording the location for future reference.
After a respite, we went to the Blind Faith Cafe
for dinner. The menu offered many choices
but we began with drinks
and Jane
and I
enjoyed our waiter who was from Brazil via New York
as he brought Jane's salad
with dressing
and my rice
and main dish (Mongolian with meat substitute)
and a very large sample of peanut sauce.
I managed to finish my main course
even as this waiter
filled my water glass many times. The dessert menu
had a wonderful peanut butter bar
and then we paid the check
and called it a night.
