So for the last few days I’ve been resting up, but also did the following:
– visited millennium park
– went up to the sky deck of Willis Tower (formally Sears tower). 103 floors up!
– shopped at the Winnetka thrift store. New belt for my turquoise kaftan!
– helped out at a house walk. The house was seriously flash. There was a basketball court and rock climbing wall in the basement. My job was to stand there and watch as a parade of suburban woman (and a few guys) walked through the upstairs bedrooms.
– saw another deer, some chipmunks and a hummingbird.
– walked around near the river in town and took in the awesome architecture.
– went to the launch of the American Batik Design Competition. It was kinda like attending one of the usual Thai event gatherings, but less stressful for me. There was food, drink, gamela music, exhibitions, dancing and a fashion show.
Update: more photos
Also, I was going to talk about the train tickets. The 10 trip tickets are very cool. They have colour changing patches on them so they can tell they aren’t counterfeit. If you touch it they turn white, but if they get cold again, then they go back to blue. It’s neat!
