Alice doesn't read here anymore book club visits Chicago

Many months ago, one of my book clubs suggested a get-away. And finally the day rolled round. 5 of us headed to Chicago for a long weekend.
We got to eat at a North American Eataly (one is coming to Toronto next year!)

The lobby of our swanky hotel

Details from our walking tour of the history of skyscrapers







The bean!

The weather was mixed but when it was fine, it was very very fine - so we cycled the lakeshore

Climbing walls in the park - just waiting for our kids




I discovered the newly opened American Writers Museum


Amazing, changing wall of words


A quick trip to Dylan's candy shop

Some of the delicious food that we ate - no snaps of the cocktails unfortunately

The House of Blues (formerly an opera house) next to the corn on the cob parking structure
inside the House of Blues - where we saw some gospel and ate a hearty brunch
