This summer Sayard and I made a special trip to Chicago for music, theater, baseball and .....
Sayard got her wish to see the musical Wicked. Based on the book of the same name it tells the "real" story of the witch of the west.
We discovered this quaint little courtyard, which was attached to a very old Church on the Magnificent Mile.
A view of the Chicago River
The Water Tower, the only building to survive the Chicago Fire, making it the oldest building in the city.
Chicago Cubs!!! Perrenial losers they may be but at least they can boast of a team (unlike Montreal) and they still have one of the nicest stadiums in baseball.
The band Spoon were great live as usual.
Yeah Yeah Yeah's rocking out.
At the age of ten or so I remember going to see the Disney movie Flight of the Navigator at a theater in Regina when my cousins lived there. This thing reminded me of the the craft from the movie.
Our reflection in the “Cloud Scuplture”.
Buckingham Fountain at Grant Park. Lollapolooza was held here.
Sayard trying to hide from the heat, with Blonde Redhead playing in the background.
Dude, it's hot!
Skyline at night...with all the other revellers.
LCD Soundsystem, one of the best shows of the festival.
Chicago at night.
I managed to keep this special dinner a secret from Sayard until we walked through the door to this amazing Thai resturant
We both hope we can eat food this exquisite once again.
The surprise didn’t end with the resturant......
