Chicago is great and we are having a wonderful time. We have been doing things slowly, not in a big hurry to get going in the mornings, but relaxing is part of holidays too. On Monday we went on an architectural river cruise. If you are only here for a short time, this is what you should do. It was so interesting, so much archtecture and history and a way to see Chicago that you normally can't. Went on a south side tour,saw Obama's house,where he he gets his pizza and where he used to get his hair cut. The north side tour covers Oprah so we will skip that. The weather has been hot. My hair is just frizzing. Supposed to be a little cooler today. Lots of good people watching. I think better than NY because there are more public spaces and fewer people, although still lots. We are finding the transit easy to use. The train station is only a block from here. Can't seem to be able to post pictures on here.
