Goodbye Chicago

After all my mumbling about how expensive the whiskey was on top of the John Hancock building I searched the streets of Chicago for a real bargain... and I found it. Well not really a bargain but $10 for the first hour seems to be the standard rate downtown. If you thought Dublin or Munich is expensive with parking think again! Anyway... I was glad that I didn't rent a car over there ;-)



On the main square in the Millennium Park it looked like an alien visitor found an easier and cheaper way to park its vehicle. But as I counldn't spot any meter maid trying to put a ticket on that thing I guessed this was art. To be fair now it is a quite nice 'thing' which apparently was donated by the artist but cost the city of Chicago one million Dollar to polish. If you ask me it was well worth it!



On my way back to the hotel I stumbled over what I thought to be the owner of the vehicle in the park... but it was only a mail box decorated for a exhibition about a quite familiar topic which escapes me now ;-)





And of course I had one of the world famous Chicago Hot Dogs which was cheap and really delicious! This concludes my amazing journey to Chicago and I am surely back in one stage with more time for the fine selection of museums!
