The Windy city!
25th January 2009
This is hard work! Journal writing. I know this sounds like a lame excuse but it's actually hard to find th time! but I will do better.
Chicago, first thoughts....deep dish pizza! hahaha Oh, and COLD!
We decided to let bruce have a couple days off so we caught the train into town. Old school train man inside stamped our tickets. noisy and cold inside the train. men in London fog jackets and briefcases epitimise the US buisnessman. Chicagoans look at us funny. I think we look like tourists. better fix that somehow. Didnt really think chicago was all that great. sure, there were big sights to be seen. Wrigley field, sears tower lake michigan etc, but i dont know. Maybe the weather had something to do with it, maybe 2 days runnin arouns doesn't do it justice. We had fun.
I had a massive thick slice of Chicago deep dish pizza and it was great! lots o dough, though. I carried my little trusty GPS in hand and it worked well. Helped us around, thats for sure. We didnt really k now what we wanted to see in town, Tamara used to
live here, so we let her guide us around. We walked from the train station up to "the miracle mile" Michigin Avenue Lots of fancy stores and fancy cars. The tribune tower was an aweson building to see in the flesh. It's an old building that houses the chicago tribune newspaper. 1929 I think Next stop is the John Hancock building observatory. 94th floor! Nightime now so we can see the lights about 100kms away i reckon! $15 to go up.
Bring on Cleveland
