I always seem to hit peak times when we go. :) Love your shots, Chicago is so pretty and I can't believe how much ice you have, way more than we do. There is no ice fishing anywhere by us. Glad you got a few cache's!<br />xoxoxomichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757389045798739976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-53929821093706715982012-01-27T10:11:04.806-06:002012-01-27T10:11:04.806-06:00I bet Louie has all the side roads dialed in.

However, since you did it, I sure enjoyed the pics; never been to Chicago and the downtown is really beautiful. 3. How fun that you and your hubs Geocache; thought at one time my husband & kids might do it but it just sort of never happened. 4. I'm your newest follower :) stop by to visit me any time.

I've never been to Chicago, but I've heard it's a great city. Someday I'll have to visit.

UGH!<br /><br />Glad you had time to cache!<br /><br />Haha! My cousin nicknamed me Della Andretti about 8 years ago!

I'd be pissed off beyond belief... to think I freak out at the tree huggers driving 42 miles an hour into town. I'd be insane in that traffic. And then not being able to park to do what you love? WTH? Too many people living in too small of a space. We ought to have a square footage law...no wait... that means they'd all come to Alaska so scratch that! LOL <br /><br />I hope Chablis' meeting was fantastic and for God's sake take a train or whatever it is next time. That is insane!!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121205250839003802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687899793433885679.post-57560946491472941332012-01-27T03:20:09.446-06:002012-01-27T03:20:09.446-06:00Funny, the skies over Alicante have been looking j...Funny, the skies over Alicante have been looking just like that these past couple of days! But definitely not laden with snow, just some weird fog/mist that blocks out the warm sun and increases the humidity so it finally feels like winter, lol!<br /><br />I hate traffic like that! UGH! So grateful not to have to deal with it! When I lived in Belgium, in Liège, about 100 km away from Brussels, most people I knew who worked in Brussels would go on the train instead of by car or car-pooling because it was much faster! A usual trip to Brussels by car could be done in about 45'-1h (and on the train 1h-1h20' depending on the train), but if you left Liège between 6:15 am and 8 am then it could take you anywhere up to 3h!!! HORROR!<br /><br />Love the shots of the frozen lake! :o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.com
