Starting Early

We've had a good first full day in Chicago. We started with some shopping at the outlet mall, followed by an awesome lunch at Carnecitas Aguascalientes in the Little Village. Then we made a quick stop to have a screw removed from a tire on our way to the Irish American Heritage Center library, where we're getting some advice on doing genealogy research in Ireland. It's like we've started our trip abroad without even leaving the U.S.

How fortunate that the library is open an hour later than we expected, and their main genealogy expert is here to help us. We could spend a lot of time here - we haven't even peeked in the museum or the Irish American hall of fame.

We're leaving here to head to Evanston for dinner with our friends Jaret and Karina.Is so easy to forget as the years go by how special someone is in your life but just a hug and it all comes back. I've [Barry] been so blessed to work with so many wonderful students over the years.
