Chicago was filled with Lollapalooza people today - those who like punk, rap, etc. We were not one of those. Instead we walked along the waterfront admiring the sailboats and the prettiest skyline we have seen on our trip. However, despite not paying the $280 for Lollapalooza, we could hear the music everywhere we went!
There was so much to see in just one day, we went back to my favorite mode of travel - yes, the segway - for a city tour. Well, the city from a distance, and Millenium Park and Grant Park from across the street since the music was there. But what a tour! We were supposed to be gone for 2 hours, but our guide took us for nearly 3 hours. It was so fun! We may not have learned so much, but we were kept totally entertained from seeing arrests of drinkers to 100s of young kids crashing the gates to the park in one big mob. And we lucked out by getting back just as a huge thunderstorm hit the city.
This morning we saw another side of Chicago by stopping in a neighborhood breakfast place - Bialy's. It was like going back in time to small town America, where everyone knows each other. I could live in Chicago. But I'm happy to be going home to Richmond tomorrow.
