Chicago 2016 - Day Ten

Some days it's just hard to get out of bed. Today was that day for me.  Although to be fair I did sit up late last night watching basketball. As I mentioned yesterday it was Kobe Bryant's last game, and he played a great game. And the Lakers won the game. It was great to watch it happen.

We paid another visit to the Artisan shop we visited the other day. Anne bought a new pendant, so we are bringing something genuinely made in America. Then we walked to the Whole Foods Market, our new favourite shop in Chicago. If this store was in Melbourne we'd be there.


This afternoon we went back to the House of Blues & were given a chance to have a look at the venue even though we weren't attending a show. What a room! It looks fantastic.

Then we had a wander through some streets we hadn't been through yet. Again the different style of architecture continues to stand out as one of the great memories of our visit.

Today we also heard more live music in the street. I think the improving weather is not just bringing out the blossom but also the musicians.


Bronwyn kindly brought me a book on Chicago Blues. I've enjoyed reading about some history of the blues here but also learning about since current venues and players. Always good to learn stuff.
