Snaps from Chicago

 On the way out of town we spent a couple of days in Chicago. We took the Metra into town so that we wouldn't have to deal with parking and then walked around until our architectural riverboat tour started just after noon (you can see the boat below). Chicago is such a neat city that continues to reinvent itself. Here's part one of our adventure:


 Never fails to make me think of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

 "The Former Sears Tower" as our riverboat tour guide called it.
