Tea and spice, and many things nice

And this is just a miscellany of photos...

Thousands of hot sauces? Try Heaven on Seven!

The Bridges of Chicago County (or City) - also the Bridges of Gotham City in Batman Begins?

And here's some, away from downtown and the Mag-Mile:

The Museum of Science and Industry is an amazing place - there's an actual U-505 Submarine, a train, and you can actually see chicks hatching!


And this is what we did in our spare time (and boy, was there a lot of it!) Welcome to Worms World Party - and feel the point of my rapier, scoundrel!
The Chicago skyline - from the other side (north)!

The Museum of Holography - it's quite low-key to look at - but has fascinating stuff inside.

Tens of Teas - the Bourgeois Pig is a wonderful place to study and sip chai. The very atmosphere is bookish.


And this is how Chicago would look if Monet drew it - or if you have a very shaky photographer. (Taken from the Signature Lounge on top of the Hancock.)



Finally - way North of downtown is a crossroads from where Gandhi goes one way, and Jinnah, the other way. Here's a small snapshot from Devon Avenue! (And I'm not kidding, there really is such an intersection.) All my Indian shopping, haircuts, supplies, and lunch buffets - are thanks to this one street - which attracts Indian families from outside the state, for their shopping! And some of the shops are just like in India.
