Missed breakfast as it was too early .- 6.30 is just not on! Sat in the observatory cabin with coffee where this photo was taken. There was a shady looking character in the end seat behind John (reading the paper) but he turned out to be harmless.
Three good things:
1. Chicago seemed good until we were told by a local to keep a lookout for people following us. Keep a knife in the pocket, she advised! Help!
2. Our rooms always seem to be at the very end of a long passage - - good for walking.
3. Another dreamy bed!
Your processing has made this one look especially nice on black! I was wondering if you were up yet. I think your advisor was crazy about Chicago too. If you stay in the public places and don't go out at night alone you will be fine.
Good grief -- that is a great picture on the train, but I'm surprised at the advice you've been given about Chicago! I assume you are not hanging out in sketchy neighborhoods? I wish I were in town to greet you and take you about! It looks like your train trip has been wonderful -- what fun! If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me while you are there (I'll delete this message after I know you have my email): teraphael 'at' gmail.com
Have a GREAT time while there!
Fave fir this observation carriage photo. One of our wishes is to go in one of these probably across Canada! Have show Harry! No knives in pockets please!
Bus stations and rail stations can be an interesting mix of people but I have never heard of carrying a knife in Chicago! I have only been on layover at the airport though! Taffy says you will be A-OK! Enjoy!
A great capture, interior & reflections, people, & I can see how fast the train is moving...a dreamy bed makes up for most things we experience while travelling.
That seems like really weird Chicago advise...I was there two weeks ago and it was lovely, people were friendly, no probs anywhere! Unless you are in really dicey neighborhoods, you should have a lovely time. Take a ride on the river for one of the architectural tours if you have the chance.
@granagringa Good to hear all the good vibes that my comment eventuated. Only one night in Chicago but we have been in
Chicago before. Looking forward to Canada....
Have a GREAT time while there!
