A friend and I took the architectural boat tour on the Chicago River and loved the chance to see the buildings in the early evening light. The tour guide Kip was bright and funny; he really made the trip delightful.

I will get more photos up later. What a delightful city! and I've been to Chicago several times but each time I discover more to enjoy!
