Firstly, I forgot a couple of odd things about this room. Above the bathroom sink ther are mirrors on 3 sides of the walls. I can see lots and lots of me, about 12 if I turn my head left and 12 to the right. The place of the toilet roll holder was decided by a contortionist.
I found a nearby place to have an omelette this morning. I pottered around the streets. A real mix of utilitarian old buildings, fancy old buildings and modern buildings. Chicago is a windy city and the wind was certainly whistling down the roads between the skyscrapers this morning. There are some overground railway lines that are a bit off putting. Well, it put me off, walking under a metal contraption not far overhead and a train comes along. It sounds like it is 2 inches above my head. They was also another very loud continuous noise. I appeared to be the only who thought a huge spaceship was landing or something. Turns out it was a hovering helicopter shifting a large steel beam in a building site. The noise was amplified in the wind tunnels.
Chicago is also known for its street art / statues and I wandered around finding some of them. I spent quite some time this afternoon catching up on photos and emails, but not as many as I would have liked. I found a place in the afternoon that had decent coffee.
Tomorrow afternoon Wendy and her 4 arrive. I am looking forward to seeing them .
