We caught the lift/elevator to the 103rd floor!!!!! in no time. As we went past floors it compared how far up you were to various other world buildings.
INCREDIBLE 360 degree views! Warren was game enough to sit and stand out in the box sky view window - I took his photo and the video!
The next leg of our trian trip was to Denver. We left Chicago at 2pm and arrived in Denver at 8.45 am - an hour and half late. A different sleeper set up this time. No loo; top bunk nearer the roof, so I couldn't sit up and no windows to look out. I slept - surprisingly! Woke at 4.30am and moved over to the roomette opposite where the couple had got off the train at 2.30am! Very comfortable - the top bunk was not down and windows!!!
When we woke at 6am and looked out there was snow everywhere!!!!! It was from THE BIG STORM that went through a couple of days before. It was like this all the way to Denver & in Denver!!!!
Clare's Exchange Mum and Dad (Carol and Charly) met us off the train and we've had a lovely couple of days with them. Clare's Exchange partner, Kristin's (who is studying in a college away from home), twin sister Shannon (who lives nearby with her husband Nick) is expecting her first baby today!!!!!! No one expects baby to arrive yet, so looks like Carol will have to cook a Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow !!! Shannon will be induced on Monday if nothing happens before then!
You two are having such an amazing time!! I am thoroughly enjoying your Blog Barb - so much detail! It's hard to keep up isn't it?? Love the photos of Warren looking down throught he glass from the Willis Tower but I don't know how you did it!! Love Yvonne xo
