Chicago, again

I'm currently on my third visit of the month.  This time we're in Chicago to work with a family tomorrow.  On the flight tonight the sun had already set (grr early winter sunsets), so we flew in the dark.  It was neat to fly above the clouds and see the stars against the black sky.  Then, as we were descending, we passed through the cloud cover.  It looked like an ocean of fluff and we seemed to float gently on the surface.  The white-gray of the clouds was especially beautiful against the dark sky.  And as usual Chicago was lit up nicely.  It's such a pretty city at night!  Who knew a routine flight to Chicago could be so inspiring!?!
