Chicago, Chicago what a wonderful town...

Good old blue eyes, Frank Sinatra, sang this song memorably and he is right.  It is a great city.  We only spent 4 days there but we're sorry to be leaving.  We had so much fun.

The architecture tours were terrific as was the free zoo, the baseball game, the public transport, the cocktails and the meals and...

Deep dish pizza at Giordano's was sensational...

The oldest German bierhaus in Chicago was a great haven from the torrential rain...

The elevated railway is truly iconic... the system works too...

I found the beginning of Route 66... just need to do the rest!

Traditional baseball at Wrigley Field...

Some fine blues at Blue Chicago...

Fantastic architecture...

The first MacDonald's drive thru ... and incidentally buzzing at 3 am after the clubs start winding down.  Highly recommended are the chicken nuggets..

Really good free zoo...

Awesome breakfasts!

Terrific cocktails and filme noire at the Drake Hotel... it was a Vincent Price horror movie from the 1950's ...

Great digs too... the Godfrey Hotel is all of 4 months old and still has that new hotel smell...

Thanks Chicago, we'll be back.
