I am having adventures quicker than I can write about them.
Two weeks after the fact, here are a few pix of my trip to give a talk in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on the October 1 feast day of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and thence on to Lake Forest, Illinois, with side trips to downtown Chicago, Oak Park for a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio, and Libertyville to the St. Maximilian Kolbe Shrine and a walk around the lake at the adjacent Mundelein Seminary.
I was insanely graciously, luxuriously, meticulously, hosted. I had Lou Malnati deep-dish pizza and a hot dog, swatched in acid-green relish, from Porfirio’s.
I walked along the banks of Lake Michigan.
I saw Edward Hopper’s “Nighthawks” at the Art Institute.
And most importantly and notably–I made a new friend.
DOWNTOWN CHICAGO
interesting photos
It all looks and sounds amazing. I am happy for you, Heather!
Thank you, Teresa–it was so nice to see some deciduous trees/early foliage…
Wonderful photos, thanks! Such an eye you have.
Thanks, Brett…I think I just like water…
Ahh, the Prairie State! A new friend is a blessing.
You bet!
I’m glad you enjoyed my homeland, Chicago!
Oh Ruth Ann, I just loved it–SO beautiful this time of year (and probably every time of year…). Of course I barely scratched the surface…Autumn blessings to you–
Such beautiful photos! The grounds at Mundelein Seminary are so beautiful. I went to Marytown last summer for a private retreat, and greatly enjoyed walking around that lake every day. So glad you enjoyed your Midwestern travels!
Yes…I’d been to Mundelein once, years ago, but didn’t realized the St. Maximilian Kolbe shrine was just on the other side of the lake…a holy place, all around…thanks, Christine–
