Sept 1-2 Chicago! Chicago !

We crossed the lake, about a 60 mile run, because there were light winds and waves and arrived one day early in Chicago.   We spent the next day checking out some of the sights in town.  The first pic shows the Chicago skyline, which is one of the best in the world.   The world renowned architecture evolved after the fire of 1871 burnt down most of the city, which after it was rebuilt is now called the 2nd city.   The next pic shows Marilyn Monroe, one of the many many sculptures in the city.  The third pic shows examples of glasswork by Tiffany, who got his start here in Chicago.
