    Spock and Uhura do Chi-Town. (warning, photo-intensive)

    Passing time at the airport having brunch:


    Spock looked too lonely hanging out by his lonesome, so I dug out Uhura.


    Here they are people watching while I ate brunch:


    Spock, check out that guy's sweater pattern. I bet Jessica's going to knit that for her husband someday. Do you think it looks too "old"?


    Nah. I think it's a classic design that wouldn't go out of style.


    Goodbye, San Francisco:




    The view from above:




    There's some snow left on the peaks:


    Look at this alluvial flood plain that looks almost like a peacock:


    It's fun to watch cloud shadows sweep over the landscape:


    Look at these fun crop patterns!


    We ate bagels here:


    And stopped for this wonderful photo opportunity:


    In front of Wrigley Stadium. Elton John and Billy Joel were having a concert the evening we arrived, and my sister lives not too far from the Wrigley Stadium. We left the windows open and got a free concert. I thought of you, Mike, when I heard Billy Joel singing "big shot"

        This is a neighborhood butterfly that just happened to land when my camera was ready:


        Looking down at the camera looking up at the Willis Tower glass balcony:


        Hanging out in a long line:


        Which snaked around the block:


        Standing on the balcony. Not very scary at all. Bummer.


        Uhura left her boot in the car:


        Here they are wondering what to do now:


        The view straight down below, looking down the glass balcony:

          A fountain at Millenium Park:


          I don't know what they call this, but I loved it, and I could have hung out there all day:




          At the entrance to this bean-like thing. Don't we look 1:1 scale?


          Lucky shot!

                Inside this thing:


                I had to rush out of there. It was disorienting, and I got dizzy:


                Here we are running the heck out of there:




                We missed the damned taxi:


                So we rode this bull instead:


                So many things to do, so many things to see!


                Here's the library behind us:

                  Recognize this fountain?


                  Look at the ominous clouds in the middle of July! The temperature was 72 degrees. Unheard of in Chicago, in summertime. Check out the incredulous look of that tourist in the background. What a riot!


                  At the butterfly pavilion:


                  Wow, and I think that's all the photos I have. Hope you enjoyed our trip.

                    That was too much food. I ate all the bacon and only one wedge of the "hand cut French toast." How else would you cut it? Darn thing cost me $15. Rip off rip off rip off....

                      In some of those photo's it look like you're about to get hit with a bad thunderstorm.

                          Great shots. Looks like you had a Galactic good time!

                          Makes me wonder where the Travelers are?

                              Those were fun. The thing that kept jumping out at me was Uhura's hair. Spock should not have the better hairdo.
