Heading West, Via Chicago

Mounds State Park to Chicago (10/12):

Our tour of the Midwest begins in earnest with a stop in Chicago. Mandy hooked us up with a walking tour that included such sites as the start of Route 66, stolen bricks chipped off the pyramids, and a giant reflective bean. Chicago seems to be under the misapprehension that the city with the most sculptures wins, and it is determined to make a go of it. We had pizza for lunch, when in Rome, entering the restaurant to Secrets of the Sea and leaving it to Box Full of Letters. Chicago! It made us fairly ill, so we watched three hours of project runway at the hotel and then went to a wine bar at night.
