Hostel
















Perfect weather in Chicago. 

This morning I ran to Meigs Field, now called Northerly Island. When I reached the Museum Campus I could not locate the island. Someone pointed me in the right direction and
 I discovered a prairie field with a single paved path.

I ran north to Belmont Harbor, passing the Triangle Camera building on Broadway, which is where I lived and worked in the mid-1990s. I bought lunch from Treasure Island market and had a picnic at the harbor park.

I walked to the bus stop at Temple Shalom, which is where I once made a portrait of a man who sat on its steps. 
 
I rode the 145 Express and exited at Water Tower Place on Michigan Avenue. I stepped into a church and read proverbs while listening to organ music. 

It is 7:30pm and I am at the hostel, readying myself for sleep.

I fly to Eugene, Oregon tomorrow.
