Up and out. Out of the city to Oak Park to look at the works of Frank Lloyde Wright. I was very impressed with one of the houses, which is poorly shown above. I stood in front of it for maybe 5 mins and then walked away. But I had been changed. Every house I looked at after that seemed, too high, too narrow, too ugly, it was quite extraordinary and very noticable. I had to stop and go back and look at it again. I soaked for a good half hour looking at this building, it seemed quite magical. I don't have any formal, or indeed informal training in architecture or the arts so I can't describe effectively what I saw. But I defy anyone to look at this building and not be enchanted.

Hi Richard and Nicole!
Great to read your blog.... I especially love the photos. It sounds like you're both having a wonderful time there. Sometimes when you go back to a place that you've enjoyed you can set yourself up for a let-down, but that doesn't seem to be the case - I'm glad to say! Enjoy the rest of your holidays.. we look forward to reading the rest of your blog, although we'll be in Marbella from Tuesday to Sunday!
Talk soon
