Chicago cont.


So the best way to undrstand any place is to get someone who knows to tell you about it, so we take cruise on the river and out on to the lake. The guide on this tour is fount of knowlwdge on the history and architecture of the city and makes it all interesting.
What strikes me about this city is how close the beaches and marinas are to the business districts, you could finish work and walk to the beach in 15 minutes or be on a boat in a marina in the same time by cab, I can see that this would be a great place to live if you like water sports.
Looking around this place is hard work as as the temperature is about 32C and humid but a great first day to the holiday rounded off with dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe.
