Chicago - Day 2

Pretty incredible - we started off the day being a part of sports history!
We went to the White Sox - Tampa Bay game and the White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle threw a perfect game! That means no one from the other team got on base in any way during the game.

Now to give a little perspective, it was the 18th perfect game in the history of Major League Baseball (since 1880). Which means it happens about once every 7 years (or once ever 17,000 games). Wow, and God allowed us to be there for all the fun. It was intense. (This pic is of the melee at the end of the game.)

Also had the fun subway adventures all day -- this subway pic is Sarah & Luke giving some love (& cash) to a great street musician.

Later in the afternoon we went to the Skydeck observatory on the Sears Tower (actually now called the Willis Tower - tallest building in the US). It's 103 floors up (and the elevator made it up in ONE minute!) and has these glass balconies that hang out over the building. Cool stuff. My Iphone pics don't really do it justice.

This pic of the flags is also at the Willis Tower - just a continual reminder of what a global world we live in. People from all over the world are here - today I talked to folks from Brazil, India and China. . . . Now for some sleep . . . And O' yeah Corpus Christians hate to rub it in but the sleeping weather is low 60's!
