Last day in Chicago--Monday plans...

We served our last meal at Lincoln Park Community Shelter this morning (Kristen, Todd, Jena & Ben J) and the sack lunch team has one more lunch to prepare today (Heather, Amy, Sean, Max, Ben C).
Today we plan to be out and about--a museum for each of us (Shedd,Art, Field), maybe time back at the beach (Lincoln Park), then out to Ed Debevic's for supper and Second City. It's our last night together in Chicago.
Last night Sean heard from one of the shelter guests that Paul McCartney was playing at Wrigley Field. He was sooooo excited. Amy R-S, Nita, Sean, & Ben C. took the Red Line up to Addison stop to see if we could hear him. We could!! Sean was especially happy!! Ben, Amy, and Nita also enjoyed the excursion.
The church just had a yoga class in our usual meeting space so we've been waiting to get back in there. We are about to begin our day away...
More later.
