Architectural Tour Through Chicago

Today we took the Architectural Tour on the Chicago River.  A guide explained all the history and facts associated with most of the buildings.  We will be taking the Chicago River out of Chicago, but now we will know more about the buildings we will be seeing for the second time.


Here are some views of Chicago from the Chicago River:

Carp are know to jump out of the water along the river when a boat passes through

Nice for someone else to be doing the driving for a change

We can't remember any of the information we heard while on the toure but these are some of the buildings that were pointed out as interesting.and worth more than the land they are on.
