Day 53 - DuSable Harbor, Chicago - August 28, 2011

We spent a relaxing day in Chicago today.  We walked to a very nice grocery store and stocked up on a few last minute items.  The walk to the grocery store took us on a path along the Chicago River and we had a chance to take a few pictures from the shore (we’ll get the “from the boat” pictures tomorrow).

We also had a chance to meet and talk to a number of other Loopers who were also staying at DuSable Harbor.  We will be heading out tomorrow with John and Rita from Toronto who are aboard Brandy IV.  Their “air draft” is just a bit more than ours and John wants to watch us go through the bridges ahead of him.
