Pour plus de talon c'est par là :
Sinon je vous invite a regarder le reste de l'album (à droite) de cette course déjà mythique.
As I wrote earlier, I have been ill.
All day.
Jools is feeling tip top, so while I lay hovering close to death laying in my pit, she went to the gym for a workout, then, on the way back gets me a coffee from Starbucks opposite the hotel. Opposite and down a bit, then to the left. But close enough.
I drink that pretty quick, but I am not feeling very sharp at all.
So after Jools has a shower, she goes out for a wander and I stay in bed, listening to the radio, whilst my stomach empties.
And by one in the afternoon, I was feeling more human, so I began to think about what to do when Jools came back. And at just gone two, I see her in her coat coming back, carrying a huge cup of coffee for me.
She has been out on the L, going to various points she knew not where, as got lost twice, but had a good time.
What did I want to do?
Ride the L of course.
She sighs. Well, she put the idea in my head.
At quarter to three we go out, walk three blocks to the subway, where three bucks gets us one trip, to anywhere in the system.
We take two stops, then get out and go to the street onto the L, where I am happy as anything, standing at the very back of the train, snapping the scene as the train headed south.
After three stops, and going round a tight curve at a junction, of which I get pictures. And I am happy.
We get off and wander along the streets, stopping off at a health food place for a bag of chips and some juice.
I felt a little better.
Walk some more, back over the river, on a road that ran parallel with Michigan, as the designer shops and crowds are so boring.
After a few blocks, I see a tap room, and I am thirsty, so go over for a pint of porter. Which hits the spot, but goes straight to my head.
Of course.
Meanwhile, the dark clouds that had swept over the city in the afternoon were now producing light rain, and we scuttled north getting closer to the hotel.
We come to a bbq place, and I say, shall we eat here? I mean, its nearly five, eat early, back in our room and relax?
So we do.
Jools has a half baby back rib and I have brisket, both of which were good. Stunning to me who had not eaten in some 22 hours.
As ever, the food came with a side, and we also asked for onion rings. A small mountain of those came, which we made a fair dent in.
The ribs and brisket were stunning, the best of either I have had. So a win there.
But we left so much food as we both had had enough. It will get trashed.
The rain had stopped, so we walk back to the hotel in the thinning crowds as the time approached half six, and back in our room soon after.
Tomorrow, things will change, somewhat....

Notes: The broth for the maitake course was brought toa simmer at our table.

The Flag Building, also referred to as the Super Power Building, is the largest building in Clearwater, Florida. It is owned by the Church of Scientology and was built principally to deliver the Super Power Rundown, a high-level Scientology training course intended to train Scientologists to use all of their 57 "perceptics" or senses. The interior of the building contains training suites, course rooms, theaters and various devices intended to test "perceptics," including a "time machine", an anti-gravity simulator, an "infinite" pit, and a pain station.
The complex occupies a city block at 215 South Fort Harrison Avenue. It includes a 15-story tower topped by a bronze Scientology cross visible from much of Clearwater. Construction began in 1998, was halted in 2003, and was ultimately resumed to reach substantial completion during 2011. The long delay in construction led to substantial fines being levied by the city authorities. The building is valued at $80 million and at least $145 million was raised by Church fundraising towards the project. The church denies accusations that the Flag Building's completion was deliberately delayed so that it could serve as a cash cow.
The Church of Scientology announced in August 2013 that the building would be opened to the public on October 6, 2013, with a dedication ceremony that the church estimated would attract approximately 10,000 Scientologists. However, a month later it emerged that the Church had canceled the ceremony and postponed the opening of the building. The building finally opened on November 17, 2013.
