Day 2: Chicago Style
Backdated: Thursday, May 25, 2006
This morning we forced ourselves out of bed and headed into the big city. Here's a nice pic of the car all safe and sound in the parking garage under Millenium Park.
We toured around Chicago - Millenium Park, Sears tower, downtown, Adler Planetarium, etc, etc... Also, apparently in Chicago all the public service workers get Segways!
The view from the Sears tower was the most revealing about Illinois - this place is FLAT!! Coming from Washington, it was weird to look out from the viewing deck and see the totally flat horizon in all directions - with freeways stretching out from the city seemingly to infinity. Very weird!
In true sight-seeing fashion, we managed to get utterly turned around and lost as we attempted to navigate our way out of the city. Thanks to a couple firefighters at a local firestation, we got directions and waded our way through Chicago rush hour traffic out towards Wisconsin.
And thus we began our all-night drive across the midwest...
