July 7 - Chicago, IL

I spent about a day and a half in Chicago, roaming around with a former colleague who has since moved from the DC area to the windy city. [Note - the film got off center in the camera, and although the prints from this roll have come out fine, the CD has some half pictures.]

This is the Chicago Art Institute (where I saw American Gothic).

This is the famous Chicago "L" (elevated train). We took a tour of the Loop downtown on a special L train. It was very interesting!

This is the official beginning of Historic Route 66. I think that I ought to do THAT one of these summers! :-)

The building in the middle distance is the Sears' Tower. It's the tallest building in Chicago. There are nine sections of the building, each a different height. This, we were told, makes the building safer in high winds.
