Day 18 Chicago

A great day for baseball! Unfortunately, it was not for Larry. He developed some sort of flu and had to spend the day at the hotel. Jessica, Linda, and Sylvia decided on a shopping excursion before the game while Derek and I decided to take the El up to Wrigley early to watch batting practice. The women said they would join us later. I just don't understand why they weren't interested in batting practice? Anyhow, Derek and I got up to Wrigley early and stopped in a famous landmark, the Cubby Bear Pub, for a beer. The whole atmosphere of Wrigley is unbelievable. I've never been to a sporting event that's as unique as a Cubs game, especially sitting in the outfield bleachers. The women joined us just as the game started and while everyone enjoyed it we decided by the fifth inning to leave the stadium and go across the street to Murphy's Pub for a beer. We then took the El back downtown and had a pizza at Giordano's where the stuffed pizza was invented...very interesting. Another great day.
