I'm not sure what happened! But Cheryl informed me that my "Chicago Expo" post is missing from my Blog! I'm very disappointed! I looked everywhere for the listing, but was unable to find it or discover what the heck happened!
Luckily... I still have the pictures ( because I usually delete them after I post the pics to the blog.) and since I went through all that trouble to take, cut, crop, and polish them all up...I thought I would post another post AGAIN.... AFTER the marathon.
Not sure if this will cause confusion... It is for me! But I do remember publishing the pictures with brief descriptions rather than publishing a whole bunch of words. So here we go.... again!
|
Our Early Departure. |
|
Cheryl helped drive into the sun. |
|
Chicago in the distance! Note the building that stands out. |
|
We parked the car in the basement and prepared to EXPO! |
|
The crowd begins to thicken! And the Banners wave. |
|
Cheryl licks her lips and prepares for the Melee |
|
We first picked up the bib number and packet. |
|
And then headed towards the T-Shirt pickup. |
|
Luckily, they still had Women's Small available. |
|
Cheryl tries it on to check the fit. She seems happy. |
|
Next, we toured around to see the other booths. This one was from Osaka Japan! |
|
They had Really Cool anime finishers medals. SHIN CHAN! |
|
We were getting thirsty....time to check out the Beer....Bus? |
|
Goose Island is brewed in Chicago. Very tasty Beer. |
|
Having not eaten anything all day. Time for some Lunch! |
|
Cheryl did not want any Meat...so I ate some BBQ Pulled Pork all alone. |
|
While Cheryl watched and waited. |
|
We found one of the booths was for the World Marathon Majors |
|
And Chicago was on the list! |
|
Our hotel room. Smaller than expected. |
|
But next to the fire escape. |
|
Cheryl called the Room Service Menu a "Comic Book" |
|
If you check out the prices. You will see the humor. Don't order the pancakes! |
|
The lobby was a page out of the Sistine Chapel Magazine. |
|
Or the Titanic! |
|
The fancy sconces must be part of the reason for the high hotel bill. |
|
After settling in, Cheryl and I took a tour of the area to map out the race route. |
|
And check out the buildings. I wonder who owns this one? |
|
Judging from the size.... I could wager a guess. |
|
The Tall buildings rival the MOON! See it...about half way down? |
|
This wishing well played a big part in Cheryl's success. |
|
Very Greek. or Italian.... depending on how you think about the Mafia. |
Well, Hopefully those were the pictures and the captions I posted before. Or at least close to them. I can't really remember what I wrote before...other than I was tired and did not know the results of the race before.
I had a different post planned for today, But I guess that will have to wait for later. Hopefully, blogger will not lose this posting again. I hate leaving pictures on my computer for very long. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday so far. I'm taking a break from scoring today. ( after clocking in 44 hours last week....my mind is frazzled) Thanks for stopping in.
