Boat ride ... some highlights

My friend Prisca recommended a boat tour; the guide books said the Chicago Architectural Foundation gives the best tours. It was wonderful. It started on the riven near the Wrigley Building and the Chicago Tribune building. The water is green because of algae.

The Wrigley Building was one of the first on the tour; as you can see, we took the 10 am boat.

The Tribune was the second one to be highlighted ...

I love the detail at the top...

I'm going to have to consult the map for the remainder of the ones, but here's another (the computer is not uploading many at this point):

From the boat tour, we went to the hotel room for a popsicle and bathroom break. And to put some ice in our water bottles. On the 1.5 hour boat trip, my chilled water heated to the point of discomfort. Heated to recognize the morning's temperature of 32 degrees Celsius.

We tried walking the Magnificent Mile to see the shops in the afternoon. It was too hot. We got cranky.

A rest, then it was time to figure out how to get to the dance performance. And my other post talks about that.
