Day 3: Chicago

Good morning, friends!

According to the little card that the nice people at the Union League Club of Chicago (that's where I'm staying) slipped under my door this morning, it's rainy with a high of 70 and a low of 57. Very helpful. I hope the friends I'm staying with at later points along my trip plan to provide the same level of service. When I realized the outfit I wanted to wear was in a bag that I left in my car, they went to my car, got the bag, and brought it to my room. That's what I'm talking about!!!

I had a lovely time with my Uncle Joe and Aunt Kathy last night. We went to services at their synagogue, Temple Sholom, and then their friend, Eleanor, joined us for dinner at The Bagel, a New York style deli in the Lakeview area of Chicago where all of the employees are Mexican - very authentic. My godparents are regulars at this place (I was the only one who needed a menu; they had the whole thing memorized!) and everyone who works there is SO friendly.
