Been doing the usual tourist stuff - on the river cruise, on the hop on hop off. Been to the seaside, popcorn on the pier. Yesterday was fantastic weather. Chicago is a really great place, better than NY. The skyscrapers are very stylish and laid out not to be oppressive, you don't get the feeling of being hemmed in at the bottom of a dark canyon like NY. The parks, open spaces and walking areas are super. Then you have the added bonus of the beaches on the lake right in town. Plenty of good restaurants & bars. Probably one of my favourite big cities from the many I have visited. Today was a bad day, weather freezing & Chris fell flat on her face, hurting her knees & hands. She & Paul returned to the hotel for R&R while we went to the museum. Fabulous skyline.
