First thing this morning, Brenda phoned US Customs and Border Patrol in Sault St Marie to ask about our cruising permit. She managed to talk the person in charge of cruising permits and he said it was on his desk right in front of him and he was sending it out today.
We then took a boat ride this morning which took us up the Chicago river to view the buildings with architectural significance in Chicago. For 1 1/2 hours our guide talked non-stop about the history of the buildings and the architects that created them. It was a great trip. Chicago has done an amazing job of preserving its history and an amazing job of preserving its waterfront not only along the lake but along the river. The city is alive with people not only in the day but at night. They have allowed high rise rental apartments and condos to be built in the city and this has refreshed the city. Toronto would do well to emulate Chicago and its waterfront development. Toronto has been talking for years but little has been done.
We then met up by accident with our friends from Q's End and the ladies wanted to go shopping. While we were in Macy's Tom and I went to the bar and waited until they returned. We then went to Filene's Basement where Brenda picked up a jacket and top.
Went out to dinner later on at Giorgetti's(??). Had great pizza with lots of anchovies.
Pictures will have to come later when we get a better wifi connection.
