Where did you go on holiday, Steve?

I went to Chicago for a long weekend to visit a friend.

Chronology

Sorry, folks; I didn't keep a diary on this trip.

What to See

In no particular order:

• Chicago Architecture Foundation River and Loop Tours: It's kinda neat to go on a boat tour around the Chicago River and see the architecture. Too bad it was raining.
• John G. Shedd Aquarium
• The Field Museum
• Blue Man Group: If you live in a city where the Blue Man Group is playing, or if they ever come to your city, go see them. It's a lot of fun. It's performance art, but not the kind that makes normal humans roll their eyes. There are a few dirty words thrown in, so you might think twice about bringing kids ... too bad, because it's a show that kids can really enjoy. Anyway, if you want to know what the Blue Man Group is about, visit their Web site.

Yes, there's a lot more to see and do in Chicago than that. And I did more than that. But I didn't get around to writing up this page until over a year later, and I've forgotten a number of things.
