Today we spent seeing the sights of this beautiful city, put it on your list of places to see. Some of us went up the Sears tower, currently the tallest building in town, but not for long I'm sure.
Some went to visit the aquarium and saw the dolphins being trained, excellent! We all met up for an architectural river cruise and learnt a lot about Chicago's history as well as seeing some awesome buildings. The knowledge of the tour guide ground a few people down by the end though.
Headed to the Hard Rock Cafe to see if it's as good as London, based our experience, I would say not, but we were there in the afternoon so maybe a little unfair?
Some, now tired from the 8o degree heat, returned to hotel while Mike and I found one of the Harley dealerships and had a wee spend!
Forty winks kip and then we'll hit the town.....damn it's 22.00 never mind must need the sleep. Picking up bikes tomorrow, then the real trip begins.
Thanks to those who have posted comments, it's great to know you are checking the blog. We will do our best to keep it up to date and are trying to put some pics on.
