We drove up to Midway Airport early Friday morning. I could not believe how many trucks and how much traffic was on I-65 at 4:00 am. It did appear that the expansion to three lanes from Crown Point to Lowell is mostly done, but perhaps daylight would tell a different story.
A few hours later we touched down at our destination. The trip was for a family event.
I was struck by how many of these little scooters littered the sidewalks. They were everywhere and there were quite a few people using them.
I think they may have killed this business.
We stayed in a modern hotel. It was not this one, which no longer serves as a hotel.
Our destination was very touristy. It had a river walk.
People could get the water experience. On the water with water in the air.
This was a marquis for a business along the water.
I was not impressed with some of the service we got in restaurants, but this one was the exception. It had perhaps the best waiter I have ever witnessed.
Sightseeing we visited one of America's most famous sites.
Here is a better picture of the building.
Some of the vegetation was quite different from Indiana vegetation.
It also had a very simple splash pad.
Another historic structure was this old church.
As we were leaving, we visited these gardens.
These grackles are different from ours. They are a lot noisier, especially in the evening.
It is good to be back in Rensselaer. I like being other places but do not like the process of getting there and back.
Addendum: I was surprised to see that gas prices in Chicago were about 30¢ lower than prices in Rensselaer.

You neglected to say where you visited. It appears to be San Antonio.
