Back in Chicago

Hello Community,
We had a nice train ride from DC to Chicago.  We arrived just in time to watch the Bear's game.  (We live in a condo 2 blocks from Union Station.)  We met an Australian family and a New Zealand family (They were traveling separately.) and had a nice time talking with them.  My wife and I have made several trips to NZ and Australia so we had much to talk about.  They are staying in Chicago for several days before taking the train to the West Coast.  There was a German family on the train as well.
Our next trip is to  Reno, Nevada for Thanksgiving.  In December we will spend several weeks in Dallas.
This morning I woke up with a sore throat, stuffiness, and a headache.  I feel much better now.
  I am going to take advantage of the weather and take a long walk in about 45 minutes.
Take care,
Joe
