Charlie & Jay's Visit, Jun 28-Jul 6
Charlotte and Jay came to stay with us for a very hot and humid week, just two weeks after we'd moved into our apartment. It was their first time in the US, and they helped us get to know our new neighbourhood.
I know we're pale - give us a chance!
A packed North Avenue Beach.
Jay found it hard to keep his mind on the band.
First of the night in the English-themed Red Lion Pub.
Mark and Jay at Mathilda's.
Life imitating art?
Waiting for a bus to the annual 'Taste of Chicago' in Grant Park.
Chilling out on Independence Day, on the way to Dave & Buster's.
Jay was in heaven in Hooters.
Me, Charlie and Sears Tower.
At Monroe Harbour.
Looking down the Chicago River towards Streeterville.
Flying the flag for Britain on Navy Pier.
Listening to blues is thirsty work.
Last night out on the town, at the John Barleycorn Memorial Pub.
Cheers, Jay!!
A Tin Man statue can be seen at the entrance to Oz Park:
Frank Baum, the author of The Wizard of Oz, was born in the area.
