My day in Chicago has been awesome. Spring is in the air and flowers are blossoming. There are heaps of interesting houses to look at in the area where I am staying and I am loving the wildlife.
Already today I have seen squirrels, numerous birds, a fox, a deer and a raccoon!
I also found out that this is the suburb where Home Alone was filmed! The house from Home Alone is actually on sale right now, but I didn’t go see it.

So we had lunch at the building which was the pharmacy in the movie and walked through the park with gazebo too.
I also visited Lake Michigan.
Some of my new friends:
Oh yeah, I forgot to add, because I was distracted by cuteness, that I also watched the inauguration of the new Mayor on the tv live. It was interesting because the last mayor had been in office for 20 years. Lots of praying, singing and poetry reading going on. And speeches. I may have been paying more attention to Angry Birds Rio HD….
