Chicago, 10 - 12 Sept 2010

The windy city certainly livd up to it's name and even turned on some rain for good measure. Luckily that sun came out on our second day there and we got to enjoy the famous sights of Chicago, including Cloud Gate (know as the Bean by locals) and a number of building that have made the skyline famous on a boat tour on the Chicago River.

The Corn Cobs, IBM Building and Trump Tower.

Our luck continued when we came across a Wine Festival that was being held. We spent the evening trying a number of USA wines while the sunset over the city, not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

OK, so it isn't a glass of wine, but it was the biggest Margarita I'd ever seen.
