Chicago Skyline from the bow of The Lower Place |
After a very relaxing stop in Michigan City IN – shopping,
walking and visiting the zoo – we left Indiana and arrived in Illinois…more
pointedly…CHICAGO!!
 |
Ferris Wheel on Navy Peir |
 |
Beautiful Riverfront |
 |
The Cloud aka The Bean - so cool!! |
We have absolutely enjoyed everything about Chicago – the
Navy Pier, Riverwalk, Jazz Festival, sight-seeing and of course….CHICAGO
PIZZA!!
 |
Pepperoni "Pie" as deep as my fork - 1 slice limit - OMGoodness!! |
Tuesday morning (weather permitting) we will depart the
mooring field and actually head back to
Indiana to enter the Calumet River.
Given the height of our boat, the increase water level in the Chicago
River AND the surprisingly lack of local knowledge about bridge clearances we
are playing it safe and avoiding the fixed bridge of 17’ – which may be less
but no one seems to know.

Sight-seeing tour with Mike & Karen from Tranquillity III |
It’s rather bittersweet to leave the pristine water of Lake
Michigan and enter the river system…the path toward home!! There is still a lot to see and do – the
Tennessee-Tombigbee River may hold our finish line but this is not a sprint!
 |
Monumental Buildings everywhere! |
As your Labor Day weekend draws to a close, I hope you have
taken the time to appreciate those around you.
And say a special prayer for those who may be hurting.
God Bless
