Right now, I'm in the van speeding towards Milwaukee. We only spent two nights and a full day in Chicago.
Would have really liked longer, but as we only have about 20 or so days left until the end of the trip, time is precious.
So my take on Chicago - 'A chilled out New York'. We lucked out and were greeted with blue sky's and a very temperate 20C. I knew of two things i wanted to see/do the most. Go up high for a skyhigh view. Take a picture of my reflection in the Cloudgate sculpture.
Both of these were achieved pretty early on in the day. That left me with time to ride around on the elevated subway system. And walk along the Chicago River, and it's many bridges.
I can't help but feel that the city would be at its best in the summer, when the big open spaces are teaming with people, and the beaches on Lake Michigan are rammed to capacity...
Still, I very much enjoyed my time there, we also saw some of the suburban parts of the town, in particular the area around Damen.
Lots of cute little houses, and leafy streets. I could feel at home in that city, for sure.
Location:Chicago, IL
