Day 20 - Lancing, Illinois (just south of Chicago) After about 3 and half hours on the road today we arrived in Chicago. This is one of my favourite places. The city has the perfect skyline. Better somehow than New York. It is better proportioned and with the back drop of Lake Michigan it is truly wonderous. We went immediately to the museum area and parked under the Soldiers Field Stadium. Home to the Chicago Bears football team. Then we went to the aquarium. Magic. Really wanted to do the river tour of the city but the boys have been on a few recently (and it's always raining when we do the boat tours) that they could not be persuaded. Since we did it on our last visit, we agreed to pass this time. We had dinner on Navy Pier in a restaurant with a live jazz band who were most entertaining. Just so that you know; I have put a page hit counter on the bottom of this weblog. You will see that this page has had over 300 hits. I can also tell how many new and returning visitors there have been. I am hoping to be able to post a graph which you should see above at some time. No, from all this information, I can't tell who you are. That is until I pay the GBP14.99!! How curious am I? If you are at all interested in this useless information, you can follow the statistics for this site here: http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard/stats.php?project_id=368565&guest=1 And just in case you think I'm cheating, the little bit of software that does all the counting, automatically refuses to count any page look ups done by me. So I am not inflating the figures when I go and have a look myself.
