Day three of my short trip to the US. You find day one here and day two here. Today I had a nice circle in mind: from Mukwonago to Libertyville where I had the next hotel. With stops in Geneva and Lake Como as well. Let’s go cruise! Rodeway Inn Mukwonago Woke up very early…
Another Long Man mission. Fly to Chicago and deliver some parts – have a few free days to explore – fly back. I like those kinds of missions. Got a car for 4 days and booked a few nice hotels. Spring was late this year, so it was not as green as I hoped for….
Last two days in the City before it is back to Germany again. Guess which part of town that is? If you never been to another one – you go. I like the one in New York or San Francisco better. Must be that season… The top of the old water tower and the Hankock…
The old Public Library opened in 1897 and is one of the Landmark buildings of the City. The central library building was converted in 1977 to an arts and culture center. In 1991 the new library opened across the Loop. The Chicago Cultural Center is home to the world’s largest Tiffany stained-glass dome and a…

Every year the city of Chicago does host a the Chicago Air Show. It is the largest free show of its kind in the United States. Nice as well – you stand on the shore and most of the action is over the water. Here are a few pictures of the show. You should hear…
Have my flight tomorrow in the morning with Air France over Paris to Chicago. Will be back Friday. Still have a PBR 24 Oz – will drink it before i take the train to Frankfurt. Alex is once again here to rescue me – i can sleep at her place. Cheers!!! Looks like Grant and…
I am not 100% sure but it might be that Chicago has the greatest architecture of the big US cities. Hard to say but the river in the city and the bridges are part of the fun. I had a few good days again – cheers Chicago and i will see you again!
If you ask me – I pick the Cloud Gate over everything else. Every day and time of day the Chicago Bean is different. I like it. So I went downtown to the AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park today for a quick visit. Wish I had more time. Did visit a few buildings I like…
