I Love This City!

Yesterday was a fun combo plate that included a ride on the train (how I love that train), a water taxi ride, a tour of famous gangster activity, dinner at a quaint Italian restaurant, and comedy night at Second City. Wow! We also met Karen who is Anneke’s friend from high school times. Karen was a foreign exchange student in the Netherlands a year before Anneke came to Iowa. Nice lady!

Today we go back downtown for an architectural tour (via another boat). Then we are off to Iowa City to stay at DeAnn’s sister’s house.

But for now……pictures!

A cool sculpture that just happened to be a geo-treasure!

Anneke and DeAnn learn about the mob. We had to duck when they played the tommy gun stuff. Very funny.

Al Capone’s brewery. One of his many lucrative enterprises.

Burritos as big as your head. All righty then!
