Next, we thought we'd stop to see some blues, we were told it was the thing to do in Chicago. But we are on a budget and didn't want to spurge for the cover charge, so we went to bed.
In the morning we got up early and did some sightseeing: Wrigley Field, millennium park, cloud gate aka "the bean", and searched for a Chicago style hot dog.
Cloud gate is something else! It's amazing to see the city reflected on the structure and it's fun to see all the people taking self portraits (or selfies if you prefer). A lot of hand prints on it, does it ever get cleaned?
Before we hit the road we stopped for a Chicago Dog, which had more toppings than dog! There was meat in there somewhere and t'was delicious!
Oh, forgot to mention in the middle of the excitement of the city we had to change a tire. Andrew went to park on a side street and went a little too close and POP. We were able to change it pretty fast with the full spare we had, now all is good. Also, we are proud to say we have only used the GPS once and that was to find the restaurant last night. We have been sticking to the old fashion paper maps, which are awkwardly large but a lot more fun!
Sneak peak at tomorrow's post: Corn!
