Wednesday

Well there is no time to sleep in this sector of the journey. It was up at five am to be ready to leave the hosue at six for another breakfast Rotary meeting, i think we're all doing quite well to sing the national anthem that early in the morning!
Then off to a local accounting firm after which, i separated from the group and was taken to the train station by one of our hosts. i caught the train back into chicago city and then a cab to Roosevelt university where i met with their development director. it was a great meeting, and afterwards i took myself on a self guided tour of the uni - well that building anyway. Great views of the lake and a wonderful victorian staircase and stained glass windows. Then , becuase I could, i took a cab to the Oprah Winfrey STudios and shop.




The shop was nothing much, but I was just in time to see everyone come out of the show and i stood talking to alady as i waited for a taxi. We eneded up sharing the cab into the city and heard all about the show. A wee stroll up Michigan AVe while i waited for the others who were at athe Botanic Gardens, then a taxi to the Mexican Restaurant where we met up.
Then...... we headed to the Goodman Theatre and saw a wonderful wee musical aobut ELvis, jerry Lee Louis and some other 1950's rock and rollers. Great music!
Home by 10.30 ish and starght to bed in readiness for another 5.00am start.
