I went to Chicago for my daughter's wedding and we stayed to tour some of the city. What an impressive city! There's much to see and do. Those who have visited Chicago will know what I'm talking about and for those who haven't been there , you should go. My description of Chicago will not do justice but there are many places to get information about the city.
We did a boat architecture tour where they described buildings as we drifted by. Later we did a bus tour that had about 20 stops . You could stop where ever you wanted and get back on later. The tour mainly described the buildings and what made Chicago beautiful with buildings and parks.
We checked out the Morton Arboretum and the Chicago Botanical garden. We also spent time at the Field Museum of natural History. The time spent was not nearly long enough but I did get to see some of it. The train system is amazing!
The forest preserves around Chicago make it full of green space. It's quite amazing that they've had the foresight to keep vast areas green.
Welcome home, Red. Lots of people are traveling these days, it's a summertime thing. That picture looking down under your feet is amazing. I've been to Chicago but didn't spend much time looking at the sights, so I am glad you did.
ReplyDeleteDJan, it was fun but all too short. There is much to see and take in. I could spend a week in the Field museum alone.
ReplyDeleteHiya Red, I could never have taken that photo my knees would have been shaking! Heck I probably would have passed out!
ReplyDeleteOur oldest daughter lived in Lombard a berb of Chicago ..I loved the Zoo and we spent lots of time there. We never got downtown..too many people. It sounds like you had a great trip! :)
Chicago was a very good city to visit. Our daughter waas the tour guide so she shpowed us what she thoght we should see. The thrill of looking down the Sears tower was not what I thought. I canoed on the Vermillion river for 4 and a half hours. I wondered how far away from Osage I was. So I did get out doors.
