Gale force winds did not let up. Waves were over 10 ft at the beginning of the week and still at 6 feet by mid week. This has changed our plans as we intended to go to Hammond and get off the lake before catching a flight to Denver to visit the Emerson family. We are stuck in Chicago. Will we ever, ever, get off this lake. We checked out the Chicago History Museum. They had some excellent exhibits. Only one small exhibit about the gangs of Chicago (first pic). Also, it is here that the first skyscraper was constructed (next pic). Finally, check out the expressions on the boys at the Hull House, where the poor and orphaned were housed. Do you think they liked being photographed ? We will leave the boat here and fly out west to see Steve and Sonja and grandkids for a week. So, tune back in on Sept 14th when we will be underway again (we hope and pray that Lake Michigan lets us do that) !!!
