Sweet home Chicago

Saturday in Chicago was a fantastic day. Starting with a trolley bus ride round the city. An open top bus in freezing weather was challenging but to be honest after a week of similar conditions the three of us are getting used to it now.
Chicago is a beautiful city, lots of open spaces, great architecture and hundreds of eateries.
Our evening entertainment was provided by Blue Man Group, what a brilliant show!
If ever you get the chance to see them, GO. You wont regret it.
Later we headed to the world famous Buddy Guys' Legends Club for some proper Chicago Blues. Nora Jean Wallace was headlining, ( No, we'd not heard of her either) but my word she could knock out a tune. Think of Arethea in the Blues Brothers and you wont be far of it. A perfect way to end a perfect day in the Windy City.
Fred loves the Blues.

Just finished our breakfast, Skydeck at the Willis Tower this morning then picking up our car this afternoon ready to start our Route 66 adventure tomorrow.
At least we've found the starting point.

See you on the Mother Road soon.
