Some fantastic photos! Thanks everyone - for posing, and posting Very Happy

I particularly love the group photo and the one c.i. posted the photobucket link to. So far ... waiting for that guy with the giant camera to check in. Or has he locked himself in dys' trailer?

Group 2:

This was our official architectural tour of Chicago on the first morning after some of us shared breakfast at Le Bon Pain; that's the Chicago Board of Trade building.

An aside...
while watching 'Batman Begins', the latest Batman tale with Christian Bale(?) and Morgan Freeman (it's actually pretty good), the image of the 'Wayne' Building kept bugging me. It seemed like the entire city was CGI but that particular building looked so familiar to me. Finally, towards the end of the movie, during the fight scene on the el train, I placed it. It was the Chicago BOT.

BTW, that guy with the red cap is Marshall, our docent on the tour. I'll give him a 8.5 out of 10 as a guide; he treated us like children (that I didn't appreciate, and he didn't know some of the names of buildings).

Wanna see more, or is that "enough?"

I'm sure it could not compare to your evening at the pub, spendi.

I think I figured out why mac11 is blushing in that one photo. The answer is in the focus of her attention in c.i.'s photobucket offering.

NAUGHTY !!!

Cool Laughing Very Happy Laughing Cool Very Happy

Curious as to why you chose Giordanos pizza? Of the Chicago deep dish specialists, this is my least favorite. It's not bad, far from it, but it pales compared to a Ginos or Uno pie.

Ok, what else did he spill? What did he break? How many fights was he involved in?

I tried to warn you people.

A former co-worker from Illinois always said he liked Giordanos best as well. I could never figure it out.
