Our 4th Day In Chicago

Today's post is sponsored by George big M, small organ.


Hi Folks,

Our last day in Chicago and half the Muppet's have moved on to other cities.   Those remaining in Chicago had the day to themselves an did their own sightseeing, including the Museum of Science and Industry, Navy Pier and the Sears Tower (now called the Willis Tower because the Willis Company leases 20 floors so they get naming rights).


The museum included the German U-Boat, U-505, whose capture was credited with ending Word War II much earlier.   This was because they found a German coding machine, code named 'Enigma' on board.



It had many other exhibits including the story of Circuses, Aerospace and transportation.




 Apollo 8 Space Module

 Mercury Space Module

Transportation






 Sears (Willis) Tower
103 Floors above ground, out on the ledge

Later in the afternoon, we went to Ronnie heaven, Alcala's Western Wear.   Take at look at this shop.   Wrangler dress jeans for $21.90 and they take them up for free.









Off on Route 66 in the morning and don't know how the internet connections will be.   Will make the next post when we are able.


Regards,
The DMTC
