The
day began with rain which increased just about the time I had to find
my way back to where we went yesterday for my pedicure appointment
and hair cut. I was really nervous about going by myself! However,
due to the kindness of a stranger who just happened to live on the
79th floor of the Aqua Condo (pancake structure) I was
able to find the correct bus. He actually walked me to the corner
and pointed out where I needed to go. Along with his help and two or
three phone calls to our tour director, Cherie, I made it there and
back.
The
sidewalks were crowded with folks taking advantage of the Labor Day
sales and traffic seemed just as heavy as on work days... later, on
the way back I found out they were filming a movie in front of the
Randolph House (tall building) and many streets were blocked off and
no one was allowed to stand and watch... they asked us to keep
moving! Bummer! But being an old lady I figured I had the right to
move SLOW. Ha! Still I never really saw what was being caught on
camera.
It
took me longer than I had expected to make it home and so I had only
a short time to get ready for the Looper's dinner party at the Harbor
Host's beautiful condo, It over looks Lake Michigan and the
Natural History Museum.
I
thought this might be a good time to Take A TAXI! But the Captain
thought we could figure out the buses and thus we arrived only a few
minutes late. We had a fun time enjoying Chicago Style Pizza and
salad and desserts.
And
here's the Chicago First Mate's Club.
Only
two couples at the party were staying at our marina. The others were
at a marina closer to this condo. I only recognized one other couple
there but it was fun meeting new folks.
After
the party, some called taxis and some rode their bikes and the crew
of Miss gg walked a few blocks to a bus stop! We got on the right
bus, got off at the right corner and then walked the wrong way! So
we had a little bit longer stroll tonight enjoying the brightly lit
streets.
I
am not sure what building this is but thought it was worth a photo.
Arriving
at our dock we found lively entertainment going on outside the
Chinese Restaurant. A very good trio!
Then
a perfect conclusion to our day came at the end of our dock.. FIREWORKS!
Happy
Labor Day Weekend Everyone!
