Around and about Chicago

I have flown in and out of Chicago numerous times and have driven through it five or six tiimes, but until this trip I had never set foot inside the city. While I was based at the Maryknoll house in Chicago, I had great plans for seeing a lot of Chicago and visitiing friends there. That didn't happen. I was able to get into town just twice, the first time to visit Millennium Park and the second time to visit a former student from the minor seminary I attended. Here are some pictures from Millennium Park.
