Chicago. Page Two.
No way I could fit all of these goodies on one page. This page will cover the Navy Pier and some views from a boat tour. Navy Pier is by far Chicago's most popular attraction. And I don't know why. Overpriced tourist trap is a better description. It is long, there is a fun fountain to play in if you're a kid (or a kid at heart), lots of t-shirts and boat tours, live music in various places along with a ferris wheel, a couple of museums and an IMAX theater that plays Jordon: Maximum Foolishness 24/7 it seems.

| The front of the Navy Pier. And Theron's red neck. And that cool fountain for the kids. | A beautiful shot of the Loop from halfway down the pier. |

| A BIG wagon on the Navy Pier's grounds. | A lighthouse on the outer bar of the Chicago Lake Michigan harbor. |

| A beautiful shot of Navy Pier with the loop in the background, featuring the Amoco building. | The full length of the Nave Pier with the loop in the background. |

| A shot of the 'Gold Coast' from the boat tour. It is some of the priciest housing you will find ANYWHERE. | A shot of the Near North side, featuring the John Hancock (tallest in pic) and Ritz Carlton to the left. |
If you notice I had to cut out the head of someone on the last picture. I left a portion so that future people who want to stand up in the middle of my picture can see their fate! BWAHAHAHAHA! So by all means I encourage you to spend the 20$ or so to take a nice, hour-long narrated boat tour of the lakefront. Just don't stand up in my pictures!
The next page features pictures from the many world-class museums in Chicago.
