Sept 4 Still touring Chicago

The crew of BlueSkies needed a jump start for a hard day ahead of touring Chicago.  So, at Christine’s request we started the touring day with French martinis (first pic).   We passed through the Jazz festival, where they were playing real jazz –not blues ! (next pic).  We cited the Chicago tribune building that has artifacts from different parts of the world that are constructed into the side of the building. (third pic is a piece of the Great Wall of China).  We toured the Navy Pier.  It is here in Chicago, at the 1893 World Fair that George Ferris created the Ferris Wheel.  The next pic shows the wheel on Navy Pier.  It goes around just one revolution per ride !   We ended the day on a boat—the architectural tour down the Chicago river, a fully guided trip about the spectacular architecture of Chicago.
