One week until Venice!

One week from today we will be in Venice, probably very tired from an all-night flight from Philadelphia. So far the weather forecast is good for the days we will be there, with some sun and highs in the 60's.

Meanwhile, I spent the weekend in Chicago with my son attending the Ryder Cup golf matches at famous Medinah Country Club. Friday was a good day for the US. Sunday, not so much.

You weren't allowed to take photos of the players up close, but here's one of the 17th green from across the lake. We did actually see a guy have his phone taken away for taking pictures next to another green.

We stood next to the 8th and 16th greens at different times and got within a few feet of several golfers. Very cool.

Here's the huge clubhouse.

 

I would definitely do it again, although everything is pretty expensive. Probably just like Venice.
