Happy Feet

I’m wincing and limping around the BlogHer conference here in Chicago because I have two huge blisters – one on the bottom of each foot.

I walked from the train station to Navy Pier.

Supposedly it is 20 minutes away, but I got lost.

In sandals.

And with a huge bag slung over my shoulder that was stuffed with a laptop, books, and rain gear.

Yes, rain gear – did I mention the streets were sopping wet from early morning storms and the air was thick with humidity?

I traveled busy sidewalks, a dark and scary underpass, a gorgeous green park, and the pretty lakeside.

It was a blast. I love this city.

Great theater, tasty restaurants, fun sports teams, awesome shopping, nice bike paths, pretty skyline, excellent museums, big lake…but more than anything, I simply enjoy the feel of this place. It’s a happy city.

I finally showed up to BlogHer, clothes bedraggled (part of my bra was showing - nice), hair frazzled, and make-up dripping off my face. I regrouped in the bathroom and have been spending the day meeting lots fun blogging women and gaining insight into this crazy cyberworld. It's good to be here.
