Chicago - Stace Blogs!

A work trip to one of Woodward's factories in Rockford took me to Illinois for a couple of days. 

I flew into Chicago airport and drove into the city, where I was met in the downtown area by Elizabeth and Emma.

 The two locals, who live in a nearby suburb, met me for a pizza dinner: deep dish, Chicago style, of course, and then took me on a walking tour.

We visited The Bean (top photo), took in the skyline, and walked along the Chicago River that meanders through the modern skyscrapers and old buildings that make up this famous city.

After a lovely couple of hours of walking and catching up, it was time to say goodbye and drive the almost two-hour drive north to Rockford.
