It was evening in Chicago. It was windy, cool and a little dreary. But at the Royal Sonesta Chicago Riverfront Hotel, everything has changed. An elderly hotel attendant came and carefully offered a microwave in the room. He offered it with such care and concern, as if he were a grandfather and was looking forward to meeting. I liked the girls at the reception, they sympathetically helped to sort out the Chicago phone numbers. I really liked the view from the window of the top floor.
