We ended up doing everything that Ferris Beuller did on his day off except for be in a parade, but that had no influence on where we went or what we did. I absolutely love this city and hated to come back. I do have somehow make a living, so I returned to the 9-5 (actually 6-6) world today.

We did take pictures and I have lots of observations. I will write about them all later.
