So after leaving Canada just two days ago we are now heading west across the northern part of the USA. Arrived into Chicago yesterday and it was Windy all right.

Cleveland felt like a ghost town. Pretty desolate and quiet. Had a good feed at a Mexican Restaurant (although Brooke who is from LA pointed out the food was not real mexican) was decent sized. After that we wallked back down the empty streets back to the hotel for my first room party of the tour (i missed the others).

Cleveland was a pretty basic hotel, but i wasn’t complaining. From Cleveland we headed west to first Toledo, then to South Bend Indiana (home of the Fighting Irish). Then we headed into Chicago itself. Chicago was a big big shock. I didn’t realise just how big the city was.

Had my first taste of Chicago Deep Dish pizza last night. Now I am a big fan of New York Style Pizza. With big thin slices, I really enjoy it. But deep dish, although it tasted fantastic, I just wasn’t a fan. I can see why over here some people call it Pizza Pie. After that we went up to the top of the John Hancock building to the World’s Highest Bar (on the 96th Floor). After a very strong Dirty Martini it was home by cab.

Today i did the archetecture cruise and then explored Millenium Park and checked out chicago. Tonight I am possibly heading to the game at Wrigley Field. Not quite sure should know in a few minutes when i head down to dinner.

Till next time as we head west..
