Just Back From Chicago...

Did some traveling this weekend. Me and Cathy flew up to Chicago to visit Katie who has been living there for a couple of months now. Here is a photo of Cathy and Katie standing on the shores of Lake Michigan. The weather was perfect, sunny and brilliant with coats occasionally feeling comfortable. In the background you see me taking a swim. You know how I get around water, just a little crazy.


And if I get a little crazy around water you know how Cathy gets. She starts itching to fish. Luckily we were able to fit our pontoon in our carry on (you really should fly Southwest, they are very accommodating) and here you see Cathy with the big net out trolling along to banks of the Chicago River which winds through downtown.








As usual when fishing we had good luck. Most of our travels around town were by trains, subway or the elevated "L" as they call it and this was how, just like the locals, we transported our catch home each day. Katie and boyfriend Peter were glad to help out with this and here you see them riding the train with their feet on a big catfish to keep it from flopping around and bothering the other passengers. Thanks guys, for all your great help and hospitality.
