The Chicago River

Chicago has been pretty warm the last few days and all of our snow melted! I took a walk along the Chicago River at lunch today. It was a little breezy but warm in the sun. I remember two years ago when I first moved to the city I could see the river from my office. One day in the spring, the bridges all went up and stayed up for a while. The bells kept ringing and it was sort of annoying. Finally, I looked out the window and saw what all the commotion was about - people were sailing up the river to Lake Michigan. It was beautiful. It's still a little early for the sailboats and we are expecting some more chilly weather, but the river was pretty this afternoon.
