Adventures in Walking to Work

Our new thing these days is to walk to and from work each day. And man are we sore. Who knew walking was such great exercise... It ends up being a 2 mile walk each way and it has been really nice to chit chat on the way instead of sitting in a daze on a crowded bus. Of course walking through downtown always means there are interesting things (and people) to see. The past 2 days we have been watching them set up the big Christmas tree in Daley Plaza. It is pretty interesting to see them hoist the trees up there and to see the rows of trees waiting for their turn. I suppose the holiday season is quickly approaching.

Something I found to be quite amusing this morning was the pigeons that were huddled around some kind of fire pit thing. The ones on the edge had their beaks incredibly tight against their chest as it was pretty cool this morning. Dan was a little embarrassed when I took this photo!
