Day 62 Chicago, USA

Tuesday 9th August 2005

sunny 34 °C

Another hectic day although not quite as mad as yesterday. Jill and my first stop was going up the Sears Tower while Simon went to the Adler Planeterium. Now for someone who before the trip didn’t like heights ive known been up the CN Tower, Empire State Building, Sears Tower and the next stop in the day was the John Hancock Observatory. A brief visit to the Art Institute of Art for the free areas was fitted in where they hasd some great crossbows and other crazy weapons and armour. Then at last after letting the side down in Atlantic City Jill finally bought some new clothes but this time it was me letting the side down and I held back from buying the Lance watch again. We literally had to fly back to the hotel to meet Simon at 6pm and after a quick change headed out to the Chicago diner. The thai tofu I had was ok but me going vegan isn’t ever going to happen.
