Chicago pictures
Here are the pictures from Chicago, organized by day. The last day was a trip to Evanston:
Day one was mainly walking the area around the hotel. As a team we spent some time at the top of the John Hancock building, where I took some panoramic shots.
Day two I took a hike into the central area of Chicago, where the Sears tower is. On that walk I got some panoramic pictures of the real downtown area.
Day three I took an evening trip into Oak Park, which is where the Frank Lloyd Wright house is and about thirty five of his buildings. I took pictures of his house and a few more.
On day four I took the purple line into Evanston and found our old house where I only spent a couple of years but my sister and brother spent many years. Even though I had only spent a little while there and had no large memories of the place I was able to find the house quite easily. Evanston was by far the nicest portion of Chicago I saw on the trip. I can see why my parents chose Swarthmore for their next house. There are a lot of similarities between the two places; colleges, big houses, friendly people.
The web does these pictures little justice. The panoramic shots are enormous and very detailed. If my web quotas go north sometime I would upload better versions of the panoramas.
