My last day in the Windy City (I think its those Hot Dogs). Had a nice relaxing walk around the downtown business district looking at the sculptures that "litter the streets", then decided to have a trip uptown to a district called Damen to visit a store I had read about. Its called US #1 (thats number 1 to us non Americans), and it specialises in retro second hand clothes. I managed to find a couple of cool bowling shirts to add to my sartorial choices on this trip.
After that it was back downtown and a walk along Michigan Avenue towards the Tribune tower (the Tribune being the local paper/media outlet). The outside is covered in rocks taken from famous buildings all over the world. Theres a piece of the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, even the Houses of Parliament. I took some photos, so don't be afraid to ask to see them when I get back (especially you AJ and Sue!).
After that I resolved to find that place I was looking for yesterday for another late lunch. I found it. Its called Mr. Beefs and it serves hot beef rolls with loads of juice and hot peppers. I nearly went back for another one, but decided not to. Don't want to spoil my last supper tonight!!
The next time you hear from me (hopefully) Ill be in the land of the long white cloud...New Zealand
Night all
