After an overnight ride in coach on the train, where I was able to sleep comfortably we arrived in Chicago for breakfast. After which we spent a day walking around the windy streets of Chicago. Chicago was full of museums to keep us entertained for a day but after nearly a month of sightseeing we can't bring ourselves to step foot in another. The trains run over our heads on nearly every corner poking themselves in, around and out of buildings. After an afternoon...

After 9 hours on the train is is very nice to be welcomed in our lovely guest house which automatically makes us feel like we are home.

There are both good and bad sides like any other city...it doesn't seem to matter that the President lives here. We got excited...

I think the reason people say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas is because after leaving it you really can't remember what happened. I don't know whether it was a mixture of the lights, alcohol, gaming machines ringing in our ears or the overall sleaze factor of this city but something or all of it really does make you lose your mind.
