The Windy City

After a Rock 'n' Roll Breakfast in McDonalds we headed into the city.

My neck hurts!!

We're walking around this city constantly looking up. Everything is soooooooooooooooooooo tall. This morning we have already been up the second tallest building in the US - the John Hancock Tower. We went to the 94th Floor Observatory - that was 1000 feet in the air! I wasn't a happy bunny. The views were stunning, if a little scary!

We then continued with our walking tour of Chicago, past all the really impressive buildings - we even found a beach!

Early afternoon we were feeling hungry, so we headed to the birthplace of the deep pan pizza - Pizzeria Uno. I am ashamed to write that I am yet to clear my plate when eating at a restaurant - what is wrong with me???? We were so stuffed that we had to go back to the motel for a nap!

In the evening we headed to the Green Mill - it's a jazz bar that Al Capone used to hide his alcohol under during prohibition. The performers were Alfonso Ponticelli & Swing Gitan. It was a really cool place & the band were excellent, they didn't take themselves too seriously - they played The Simpsons Theme & ended the show with The Looney Toons "That's All Folks"!!
