After checking into yet another Days Inn with Stephen and Vivienne we headed into the city on the train. The Chicago Blues Festival was on in Millennium Park. We spent ages having fun around Amish Kapoor's Donut Sculpture before heading to a pub for a local brew and on to dinner at Frontera Mexican Restaurant. On Sunday we started out at Lou Mitchell's Diner for a giant breakfast. Of course we had to queue to get a table. This diner is a Route 66 icon marking the start of The Mother Road. Some say you have to start at the Lion Statues outside the Chicago Art Institute, so we headed there next. It is one of the world's greatest art museums and we hung around for hours and hours. After more time in Millennium Park, we walked all the way over to Navy Pier for dinner which ended up being rather touristy.
