Chicago and the Roof of the World...

Above: A little run about for nipping to the shops...







The view from the Sears Tower was breath taking. Chicago is famous for so many things- more details and photos when I get some more time. Met some friendly and talkative people. I have a DeWitt Panthers t- shirt ($3 bargain) and only after did I wonder if that was okay.. I mean, I could be walking round with the equivalent of Westbury Park Primary Football Club on my shirt- as it happens it's more like Cotham School American football wannabe's. Oh well- any way this guy on the street spotted me and started conversation, having recognised the logo. He was from Michigan. Then there was Dan, reading Satre on the Chicago express train. We started talking and it turns out he wants to come to the UK and be a social worker. We walked for a while and he got me into the Chicago Art Insititute for free- so I could sprint round and see the Monets. Excellent. Travelling back tonight, might go to Indiana on route....
