Chicago Architecture Tour

The MATC's annual architecture trip to Chicago was a couple weeks ago. We stopped and toured the Frank Lloyd Wright area of Oak Park and later on in the day we headed downtown and took a boat tour of the city. Good times! And oh yeah, quite educational.


Here's the interior of the Unity Chapel that Wright designed.

I took a moment to sing a song from the hymnal!

Ready to start some Sunday school crafts!

Wright was a pioneer in the modern use of concrete!

I didn't realize it until I passed it, but Oak Park, Illinois is on the Contintental Divide. I'm straddling both!

Frank is my new hero!

Ouch!

Our tour-guide at Wright's first home and studio was extremely informative, but all tourists beware: HALITOSIS! I found it quite fitting that he was telling us about the ginkgo tree in the yard and how gingko fruit has a horrible stench. I thought that maybe he had one for breakfast! P. U.!



Tourists!

My turn!

Big city!

The Sears Tower!

In the bowels of Chicago cruising on the river below. Yay!
