Skyping with K!

Another Day, Another Trip to our Park

When we passed this man C asked why he was in his underwear, I had to explain that he was wearing a speedo type swimsuit, then C asked why since there was no pool or beach, I then had to explain that he was wearing the swimsuit while he exercised in the park.

K, does this meet OSHA standards?  

The apple blossoms are dying, soon we'll see baby apples.

Walk to the Metro, On the Metro and Through our Park Home

Chicago Prime, where the American Women's Organization meets and also where we had dinner with our friends from MN.

Can you read the caption on the back of this man's shirt?  It says, in English, I run for Boston.  

We bought ice cream and water at this kiosk.  The saleslady spoke to us in Spanish when she realized we were struggling with Russian.  I speak and understand way more Spanish than I do Russian. . .
