Fred is in the Windy City

Hello Chicago.
After a close call catching our flight from JFK last night we finally arrived in Chicago Town. Friday night traffic out of Manhatten meant we made our flight with 10 minutes to spare.
The Congress Plaza Hotel is trying to charge 10 bucks a day to use their wi-fi. Fred doesnt pay to blog, so we're all sat in the diner next door where the waitress was happy to provide the password for theirs. Happy connected Bear.
Other than wi-fi issues the hotel is very grand. Large rooms and a bed big enough for a dozen friendly bears.

Heres a final pic from NYC, posing outside Madison Square Garden on the steps of the largest Post Office I've ever seen.

Gotta go now, much exploring to be done.

Do Bears' get vertigo?

The Willis Tower in Chicago is high, really very high, and it seems I'm going up it, and standing on a glass floored ledge 1000 miles above the streets of The Windy City. It's enough to make a bear start singing the blues.
