Last day on the San Francisco train, arriving in Chicago in the afternoon with a few hours before I board my New York train. Just enough time for a few snapshots.
My last photo on the San Francisco train.
Chicago's Union Station
Chicago has many water taxis on its rivers but probably not many with 'Shake a Leg' on the side.
Chicago's 'L' or elevated train.
There was a photo shoot of a couple in wedding outfits on the sidewalk. It looked more like a shoot for an advert. The woman with flowers would walk across the sidewalk, presumably to provide a background element to the photo.
I turned the corner and saw a police car blocking traffic while the white car was followed by a camera vehicle. It was either a feature film or advert being shot.
Subway train.
More 'L' trains.
Millennium park.
These fountains in Millennium Park were a good place for parents to take their children on a hot day.
Jazz Festival.
Chicago's Cloud Gate, more popularly known as 'The Bean' because of its shape. See if you can spot a photographer wearing a blue shirt.
These police dogs are all over Chicago.
I had been told by the three sisters that I met on the train that I had to try Chicago Pizza. I ordered this pizza at Giordana's and I'm hoping that is the one that was recommended by them. The queue for tables was really long and I was told I could 45 minutes for a table or eat at the bar without waiting. When I ordered my pizza I was told it would take one hour. When it arrived I was surprised by how thick it was; more like a pie than a pizza but absolutely delicious. I had also been told to go to Arby's for their milkshake but that will have to wait for another time as they had all closed by the time I left Giordana's.
