On our way overseas earlier this week we had a painless 8 hour layover in Chicago. After walking through their dramatic process of clearing customs, we jumped on the first train into downtown Chi-Town. Once all customs, security, boarding and train time were accounted for, we figured we had a solid 5 hour whirlwind adventure in the third largest American city.
We got off at central Clark station and walked out on West Lake. We then pointed toward North Michigan Avenue in search of their shopping district. The first thing I did was exhaust my camera battery snapping twenty pictures in the first 10 minutes. They were all fairly uninteresting actually: A picture looking down one street, a picture looking down another – picture of Chicago River, a picture of Chicago River and a tour boat. I guess I was just excited. I also took some pictures of Government buildings, churches and the Chicago Tribune building which intrigued me for some reason. Long and short of this is that I thought I would post a couple pictures I snapped on our quick Tour de Chicago.
Enjoy and expect a summer update very soon.
