Easy trip from home to Chicago. Amazingly, my luggage was the first piece to arrive at baggage claim. I took the Go Express shuttle downtown and snapped these photos along the way:
I got settled in my room quickly. Here are some photos of my room, and some of the view:
I did a little exploring in the hotel, and decided to have dinner in the Big Bar. Wine: $8. Three tapas (appetizers) $13. They were yummy.
In the back, in the champagne flute, are three seranno ham grissini -- thinly sliced ham wrapped around a very skinny bread stick. On the left are piquillo peppers with herbed goat cheese. On the right is a red and orange brisket (not sure why it's called that; the lighting was too dim to see either red or orange -- but it was very tasty).
Back to my room to catch up on my email and get ready for tomorrow's meetings.
More tomorrow...
