Chicago

Long day.  Up at 3:30 am St. John's, Newfoundland time - midnight in Chicago.  Arrived Chicago at 11:30 am, rode the El to the loop and checked into our hotel.  We walked around downtown a little, Maggie Daley Park and Millennium Park - Cloud Gate, aka "The Bean"

Yes, we're in the picture

Making it an early evening.  Tomorrow morning we are taking a Chicago Architecture Tour of Historic Chicago - riding the bus - Marilyn is a member.  

Tomorrow afternoon we are taking the train to Milwaukee, staying one night and then taking the train back to Chicago. 

St. John's, NL

We checked out of our dorm room, left bags at the front desk and walked to downtown.  

Toured the episcopal cathedral and located the tea room.

Proceeded to the waterfront and then headed off to lunch - salad and pizza

Finally it was tea time - it was a proper English tea and fun.

We arrived back at the university at 5:00 pm, got our bags and took a taxi to the Hampton Inn out by the airport.  We have a 5:40 am flight! 

Chicago here we come.
