Amtrak - Minneapolis to Chicago

20/09/2010
Took the Amtrak train to Chicago today. Very comfortable double decker train which took 7 hours from Minneapolis to Chicago. Followed the Mississippi river for the 1st 3 hours and then headed across Wisconsin to Milwaukee and finally Chicago. After checking into our hotel we ventured out into downtown Chicago by bus to find a place to eat. Tomorrow we will spend the day sightseeing in Chicago before taking the Amtrak overnight to Memphis.
