Still Frozen in Chicago

Last night's dinner at the Grand Lux Cafe was excellent. I'll post a picture later. We were content with two dishes for two and a box of fresh baked cookies.

This morning is NOt raining but still very cold. We're wearing everything we brought, "put in at the last minute" as Joan said. Who would have thought we'd run into this? We'll peel it all off at the airport in a few minutes and stow it away until Vancouver.

We've just returned from walking the Magnificent Mile along Michigan Ave. All the big brands are found along this street. One surprise was Lamborghini. "How did they get those cars in there?" The famous water tower, sole survivor of the great fire, sits in the centre of the mile next to the Hilton and surrounded by skyscrapers. Turns out Chicago was the first city to build the "skyscraper". A guy named Lewis Sullivan seems to have been responsible.
