The Windy City

I arrived safey in Chicago after an overnight 21 hour train trip which was 4 hours late. I arrived at the hostel at midday and was told no check-in until 2pm and if I want to leave my luggage with them til then it will cost $2. Those buggers. I walked all around the city and checked out all the sites quickly cos i know i only have one day here and i was all done by 2:30pm. I visited the second tallest building in Chicago, the John Hancock, so i could get a nice photo of sears tower, the tallest building. I went up to the restaurent level in a crafty maneuveur to get a drink for the cost of entry. When I got up there I got an ace table and took some photos. No-one ever came to take my order so I left and took the lift downstairs the 96 floors. The whole thing cost me nothing! Awesome. Now I am in an Apple store and you can use the internet while checking out their computers. It is an incredible store. Now I am going back to the hostel to check in. Tomorrow I go to Denver.

Look at the lower levels of the round buildings carefully / that's a cop riding a segway.
