Chicago - Part 4

The last of our posts from the Chicago trip. Here are a few more shots from the buildings from the river cruise.


Sears Tower looms over the city.


The Merchandise Mart is still one of the largest buildings in the city.


A shot from the river looking up one of the branches.


More buildings.

Among the interesting sights in Chicago is the Chicago Tribune Building. We posted the top tower, an interesting example of Gothic architecture. But it is the ground floor I found fascinating. They have rocks from every state and a number of countries and historic sites throughout the world. Here are some examples:



Great Pyramid in Giza Egypt


Yes, they have rocks in North Dakota.


Hans Christian Anderson home

Salt Lake Temple


Finally, a couple more pictures of us. me in front of the skyline and DeeAnn at the Planetarium.
