I’m here in Chicago for today and tomorrow and just as well really. When I woke up this morning the wind and rain were howling past the window, really not good for exploring the city. Still by midday things had calmed down a bit, still frickin’ freezing but getting brighter. So until the weather got better I had a wander around the Art Institute where they had some Monet’s and Dali’s which are always good to have a long look at.
Then it was over to the other side of town to the Hancock Observatory. As the skies had cleared I got some great views and a few photos. The forecast for tomorrow is somewhat better so I’ll have a nicer wander through the city centre and probably do the Sears Tower, the other tall building in the city. So far though I really like Chicago, it has the same sort of feel as New York but without the hordes of tourists (well except for me).
…is that the art gallery where Ferris Bueller goes with Cameron…?
A good question. I’m not a Ferris officionado like yourself but it could well be. If not then I’m going to the MOMA today so that might be it as well. Bueller… Bueller… Bueller etc etc
didn’t realize you were passing through… not that I was in town, but I could have passed along some suggested spots. Looks like you got some of the top attractions in.
