thanks for the comments guys! i had a great time - could not have asked for better weather.
trvlr70, feet were sore but mostly from running along the lake tho.
next time i'll have to bring a tripod for some night shots.
you know i was trying to figure out whether the bloomingdale's building was of islamic or hebrew influence. i figured the star motifs where the same as pelli's inspiration for the petronas - so i guessed islamic. nice to know the actual story now.
again, thanks. now you guys have to come to philly!
