Looking for the Rookery

The next day of St Patrick’s Day, I was in Chicago, waiting for my flight to Japan.

The Rookery is one of the most famous buildings of Frank Loyde Write, I missed to see in Frank Loyde Write Architects Tour in 2016.

Google Map indivated it is just 10 min away on foot from the restaurant I like.

....this time I regretted orded additional whip cream, it was too much...I have the issue on egg dishes as well, everytime I order one egg, they serve two.

Anyway...let’s go out to see the Rookery.

Cross Chicago River. Though it was died in green yesterday, the color of the water has been back to normal already.

The Loop always attracts me, I don’t know why.

Celia on the top of Chicago Board of Trade is faceless, the Architect thought it is unnecessary because no one cannot see her face, she stands on such high place.

And finally I found the Rookery

Unfortunately it wan not open to Public and I gazed at the sliding door glass.

St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick is a saint who engaged missionary work in Ireland and Irish American have mass and parade the day he passed away...and drink a lot of beer?

The day I visited NY to see my friend fell to that day and I saw many green things and crowds all over the street.

Many bands joinde the parade and the marched from Midtown to Upper East Side.

It was still cold but beautiful sunny day. I bought green version of famous Black and White cooky for souvenir.

It was stunningly sweet for my Japanese friends’ tongues!

Window Seat

I like to reserve aisle seat for long travel but you can’t always get it. In such case, I have to go bathroom when the person of next sheet leave for same reason and that is not fun. Yet this time, the view from the window can make up such difficulties enough.
