Day One - August 12, 2007 cont'd    
We checked into The Drake, the grand old lady of Chicago.  Many notables have stayed here, including Princess Diana.  We reckoned that, having done a deal through Priceline, we would be put in a closet.  We were wrong.

This is the floorplan for the third floor.  Our room, number 346, was L shaped.

Dinner was at Hugo's Frog Bar on nearby Rush Street.  I had the frog legs and Hank a steak.  We shared some sautéed spinach and a dessert of Crème Brûlée. Very good indeed.
