CHICAGO SKYLINE




.

What a beautiful city!  We talked about how "mid-western" it was and how comfortable we felt, which was true, but it was just such a beautiful skyline.  This was taken, I believe
from our hotel window.


We stayed just off the center of the city, but still within easy walking distance even in the semi-blustery weather.  This is the Chicago River and was right outside our hotel.


The buildings, the river, the skyline, the lights, the golden glow of the city at night.


The mix of old and new architecture was interesting.



And, if it was this interesting in the dead of winter, imagine how it is in the summer.
I know so many people who have raved about it over the years and I can
certainly see why.


Winter Garden at night.


On Friday morning, we took a bus tour of the city.  It has become one of our best travel tips in recent years.  It was a pretty day and the tour was good.  There is an architectural boat tour in the
summer that everyone raves about.





More to come...
