Christkindlmarket

Allison, L and I went to the Christkindlmarket in front of Wrigley Field yesterday afternoon.

We all got our souvenir mugs (25th anniversary of the market) but we were disappointed at how much smaller the market was than the one at Daley Plaza. On the bright side, we were able to walk up to most of the booths.

Me and my girl.

L and Allison. L tried her hot wine. She said it was fruity.

We had quite a time getting home. We didn't get on the Eisenhower so we were driving through neighborhoods. When we got to Cicero Avenue and Roosevelt Road we saw a fire truck with its ladder raised. As we continued driving west on Roosevelt, there were emergency vehicles every quarter of a mile, throughout Oak Park and even Forest Park. We later learned a Chicago firefighter died at Loyola Hospital from a fire last week and the vehicles were lined for the procession to the morgue.
