Chicago, Chicago! Our hotel is on the north side of the river and pretty close to everything touristy. We dump our bags and head down to Milleniun Park and the famous Cloud Gate sculpture (giant stainless steel bean). This is a very simple sculpture but people are drawn to it like insects to a light. We take lots of photos. There is also an outdoor concert pavillion across the path designed by Frank Gehry. The bean stole the show for sure. The buildings are fabulous in Chicago and the river offers a unique contrast to the incredible high rises. The view from our hotel window is fantastic - we look out on the Willis (Sears) Tower which is the tallest building in North America and also the Trump tower. Right now they are shrouded in low cloud but yesterday they were in full sight.
