The Windy City: Day 2 (by day)

I apologize to Chicago for thinking it was just another dark and dirty city like Boston or New York.  Chicago is probably the nicest and cleanest city I have been to.  We played tourist today and walked what is called the "magnificent mile" shopping district down to Millennium Park. 

Until the Lines are Untied Again!

Yes I was impressed with the bathroom mirror that had a
television in it.  Way to go Corning!

We would take this form of transportation to see the city late
 night after dinner.

Elysian Hotel looking up.

The Cloud Gate or "The Bean" in Millennium Park.  This sculpture
is made of polished stainless steel which reflects the city of
Chicago sky scape.

Cindy just fitting right into "playing tourist".  She did a great
job showing me the city in one day.  Thanks!!

The park also has a beautiful skating rink as you see the Zamboni
cleaning the ice.  Chicago gets it!

So much to see, but so little time.

Because I am a goof, I made Cindy take a picture with me and
wave into "The Bean".  Our reflection.

For those that want to skate, the park is the place to do it.

Michigan Avenue or "Magnificent Mile".
