Day 7 - Rashid Ali, Chicago, Illinois

Before we left Chicago, we met our nephew Rashid Ali for an early breakfast at his downtown condo. We were pleasantly surprised to see his brother Jamil there also. He was in town for the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Rashid fixed us “Mommy McMuffins” as his mother called them when she would make for them when they were growing up.

Rashid works for Hildebrandt International as a Consultant. He spends most of his week in New York City working with clients. He is a Manager in Hildebrandt’s Infrastructure and Business Process Practice. I’m not sure what that all entails, but it sounds like it keeps him very busy.

It was a very short visit, but a very enjoyable one. Then we hit the road again, heading off for Donaldson, Indiana. On the way to Donaldson we thought we had some time to kill (see Sr. Johnilda’s blog for THAT story), so we stopped at Dunes National Park in Indiana. WOW! It was almost like being at the ocean – except for the lack of waves. We went for a short walk on the beach, picked up some stones and then continued our journey.
