Today is New Years Eve. Everywhere you go people say Happy New Years to you, which is nice. We started our day with a late and way too big breakfast at the Emerald Loop bar and café. After this we went out to Navy Pier, what was told to be a great place at New Years Eve. We' were trying to find out where to spend our evening, but Navy Pier seemed definitely not like an option for us. After walking around in cold, gustly winds with light snow showers for some hours, we bought a bottle of sparkling wine and some donuts and went back to our hotel. We made a reservation for dinner, took a bath and drank up the wine. 8pm we had a great dinner at the restaurant, with oysters, mushroom tarte, salmon, scallops and a three-way chocolate dessert with coffee. After such a meal we had to relax on the bed for an hour just to be able to move! 11pm we went out to a blues club, only to find ourselves without ID. Then we went back to pick up the IDs (by taxi), and went out to a place called Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park. From here we had a nice view over the fireworks and the skyline. Half an hour into 2008 we went to a blues club called Buddy Guy's Legends to have a few beer and to see the last part of a blues concert with a big guy (with band) called Magic Slim. Happy New Year to all of you! :)
