Chicago Tour

 A visit to Chicago is not complete without a boat tour and description of the architecture, or so we were told by my nephew and his groom when we got the wedding invitation.  The wedding was on a Friday evening and the boat tour was on Saturday afternoon, the 2:30 sailing.

We sailed with Wendella Boat Rides based at the foot of the bridge by the Wrigley Building.


Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about anything pertaining to Chicago and other useless trivia.


Come along and see the sights.  I recall a few of them.



Under that roof below is the Apple Store.  It doesn't appear to have any walls.




Yes there are two open floors in the building above and below on right to keep the wind from blowing it over.  After all this is the windy city.


The name on building below should read tRump.



Going through the lock above to enter Lake Michigan.  The river once flowed into the lake but has been engineered to flow the opposite way by way of a canal system.  The reason: too much pollution going into the Lake which is the source of drinking water for the city.










Building above called the corn cob.





Visiting Chicago any time soon?  Consider taking this tour.
