  • Evanston, Illinois & London, UK - We’ve really enjoyed our time here catching up with our good friends that we don’t get to see often enough (Chicago to London is tough to do in a weekend).  After a long evening of wine and conversation…we’ve spent the morning drinking coffee and relaxing.  Perfect!  Thank you for your hospitality, the use of your beautiful home and the generous supply of food.
