downtown chicago

Just returned from a 6-day trip to Chicago... thanks to a Conference held there. The crowd was a little overwhelming at first, having arrived from quieter Pittsburgh, but it soon felt nice... a little like Singapore. :)

TK took a walk in the early morning, while Elaine and the kids snoozed away in the hotel room, to enjoy the quiet of the city before it woke. Here's a mini photo-tour of downtown Chicago (and more in following posts).

Down Michigan Ave towards the Chicago River that cuts across downtown Chicago. A city rebuilt after the great Chicago fire in the 1871.
