And from a tiny window at the top see all the bridges across the Chicago River.
The guide on the boat was amazing and we learned such a lot about different types of building styles. And I took lots of photos of buildings I now can't name! Sorry.
I love to take photos of the reflections of buildings in other buildings' windows - more of that next time. Here's a reflection of the boat we were on. We were sat on the very back row.
More buildings!
The Sears Tower - which is now called the Willis Tower. 108 storeys high.
We had lunch after the boat trip and then walked along the Magnificent Mile to the Johnn Hancock Tower.
A larger than life statue of Abraham Lincoln handing a copy of the Gettysburgh Address to an 'everyman'.
The lift to the 96th floor of the John Hancock building.
And the view from the restaurant rather than the viewing floor.
The best view of the city was from the ladies restroom!
This gorgeous sculpture was in the lobby.
We walked back through the city - it was the hottest day of the year - around 37 degrees C - but felt considerably hotter.
By this time we were totally exhausted. We found a really lovely Italian restaurant for dinner and then took the train back to the hotel.
Next time: All about reflections
Thanks for stopping by.
