Chicago – big city views
/We stayed at The Drake Hotel while we were at the Urban Birding Festival in Chicago. We had a view of a beach and the lake from our window. There was a lot of light on the beach at night – probably confusing to the birds. My husband commented about how much city noise could be heard through the night from our 5th floor room in the historic hotel! Perhaps traffic made a lot less noise when it was built!
Since my husband was driving while we were at the festival, I took pictures as we drove around the city. There are some very tall buildings. Most of the time we were near the lakeshore…so not driving down a ‘canyon’ of tall buildings!
I was impressed that the parts of the city where we were had so little (almost no) trash – very different from other big cities I’ve visited.
