Brother Visit Part 1

I went down to Chicago on the weekend on September 8th. I got up at 5:30 to make the 6:15am train. We were going to watch the Redbull Flugtag, but sadly it was cancelled due to high winds. We still had a fantastic time!

Architecture, Chicago

For some reason Dan and I have always met up in the awesome room in the old part of the station. I've always loved the way the ceiling looks. And on such a gorgeous, mostly cloudless morning (before 8am, I'm barely at work at that time), I managed to catch a wonderful picture. 

Coffee

Before we knew the Flugtag was cancelled, we made a stop off for coffee at one of Dan's favorite coffee shops near his work, Lavazza. It was very tasty. The heart on top made me smile. 

Chicago, Urban lawn

We saw this sign on our walk to Flugtag. We both cracked up, as the rocks plus small plants continued on for another ten feet, and that was the extent of the "lawn."


Once we found out Flugtag was cancelled, we took a walk on the beach just past the staging ground and sat down above the waves and had some brother-sister talk time. I really miss my brother and I should go see him more often.
