Chicago, Chicago my kind of town.
Friends the end or start of Route 66 is Chicago.
As the song goes" if your plan to travel West take the highway thats the best, get your kicks on route 66.
It goes from Chicago to LA 2000 miles all the way".
So we were back to front.
Chicago is one of the most exciting cities It has class, world famous buildings. restaurants and night life. It has a vibrant night life. And President Obama and his wife Michelle call it home.
It had the worlds tallest building the Sears Tower renamed the Wills Tower but people call it the Sears. They have built balconies on the 110th floor with glass floors and seamless glass walls. So you step into space - cool.
For our friend Margaret A and Voitek.
We tried to visit the Chicago Board of Trade CBOT. Unfortunately because of the terrorist attacks the exchange is closed to ordinary people so we just wandered. The building is magnificent. genuine 1930s. (The CBOT is the most important commodities exchange for the western world).
The city has a ripe criminalf history . Guess what? The Mayor is in trouble again
Our trip is over with old 66 finished. It must be there is a sign on Jackson Boulevard to prove it.
We are leaving on a bus for Indianapolis for the Indy 500 race.
The race is scheduled for 1.00am Sunday 30th.
The old Brickyard Indianapolis Indiana USA.
Then we catch the flying Kangaroo out of New York and fly home.
