Chicago Marathon, Day Two

Started the day with a walk to the Artist's Cafe inside the Art Institute, and a delicious breakfast.  Can you say Alaskan pancakes?

Pancakes with soft serve?  Sign me up!
Then off to McCormick Place and the Expo!  It was a really nice walk from the hotel, past Grant Park about 3 miles, a good stretch for tomorrow!

Less than 24 hours to race time!
After a day of collecting our bibs and shirts, and strolling through all of the booths, on our walk back we saw the 26 mile sign!  What do you bet we won't look this happy at this point tomorrow?


Back to the hotel to get ready for dinner at Berghoff's, a great German restaurant, just around the corner from our hotel.
First Liquor license after prohibition?  Quality Place!
A yummy dinner of schnitzel and ox joints (totally not kidding), excellent bread and very fine cocktails, back to the hotel for an early night, gonna be up bright and early tomorrow!
