Postscript: Chicago

I returned to the States via Chicago O'Hare Airport. Never having been to Chicago in winter, this Phoenician had quite forgotten just how cold winter could be; though I had brought winter gear with me to Europe, the weather there had become unseasonably warm by the time we had reached Germany. So snow and ice was something I had not thought of until I got back to the US. Despite the cold, I adjusted well enough to wander around downtown and snap a few shots.

After my Chicago layover, it was home to Phoenix again. Combined with my Christmas visit with my parents, I had spent nearly a month away from home (something the $DayJob at the time was a little chagrined about, as I had taken advantage of some loopholes in the system to cram that much vacation time together). I must say, it was a trip I will never forget.
