Chi-town

Over American Thanksgiving I went to my roomates house in Chicago. We got three days off school but since I have no classes on Tuesday we drove up Monday night. It is a ten hour drive and we arrived at about four in the morning. Thankgiving is always on a Thursday (crazy Americans) so we had a great dinner with the traditional turkey, mashed potates, stuffing, salad, pumpkin pie, etc. It was a nice break from dumpy cafeteria food. That night we made a clay Nativity scene (below). There were some special guests including a Mountie, King Herod, a crazy black dude and their dog, Chase. Saturday night we rode the train to downtown and walked around.






I remembered how to make those bunnies out of finger mittens.

ICE!!!!! I think this was the first time I had seen real ice in about 11 months. This was in Millenium Park.








Lake Michigan -My first glimpse at a Great Lake. This was as close as I got, a highway was in my way.





A concert hall or something

Creepy!










Beautiful


The Covenant College campus was recently rated one of the most scenic campuses in the nation. To find out why click on this link: http://www.warrenmclelland.com/gallery2.html and look at my pictures.

The view from the Overlook. It is actually much nicer then it looks.

The Chapel in the distance.

My room is below the two windows on the far left above the arch.

Jackson Hall - the ugliest building on campus


The New Building - it is actually named Andreas Hall but it will forever be known by its first name.
