Chicago


Hi Everyone,
Getting ready to leave today from Chicago. It has been a very long three days of intense lecture with not alot of down time. Lectures that included Hindi language, religions and education systems of India. It has been fun getting to know the participants everyone is very nice. We are leaving for the ariport in a bus at 2:30 our flight leaves at 7:00 tonight. We do not think that we wil be effected by the delays that are happening at OHare. Hopefully not. This morning I took a nice walk with my friend Linda down along Riverside Dr. It runs along Lake Michigan and is really pretty. It is very beach like and I was surprised to see how clean it was. Actually Chicago is a very clean city and has all the big shopping stuff, which you know I have no interest in at all. I think that a group of us are heading for a big ice cream Sunday before we depart. I am pretty apprensive right now, which mostly stems from being so far away form the girls and my inablity to get to them quick if needed. I will rest this worry with God and know that all will be well. I am trying now to upload a picture from this morning it is a picture of the walk from this am. Hope it works. The Sears Tower in the background.
Love for now,
M.

Pretty pic! It's neat to see skyscrapers so close to the water. Kind of funny that there's litter right next to you, though. I guess a city can only be so clean! I will be thinking about you and send loving, safe thoughts for your flight. I mis you soooo much already... Namaste!

Dear Gran,
I would really like to have swimmies in Lake Michigan, and then I would like to roll around in smelly stuff. Please come rescue me from the city! I miss you!
Love,
Your fav grandoggy

As I am enjoying my late night dinner consisting of a veggie burger with a side of spinach, I flipped on the tube. And guess which classic movie I happened upon? Why Ghandi of course! What a great compliment to the day. Bring us back some of the peace you find.
