Day 18 – Coldest day yet! Temp is -12 degrees F but the wind chill
factor makes it -35 degrees F!! After
breakfast we decide to stay indoors and head to the shopping mall next door …we
don’t have to walk outdoors at all! A
couple of hours later Gordy has just about reached his limit, so we head back
to the room for a “chill”. A couple of
episodes of “Criminal Minds” later and we decide it’s time to move again, so we
head (by cab of course) to The Drake Hotel, a beautiful and notable hotel over
100 years old that has hosted many famous patrons including European
aristocracy, American Presidents Hoover, Eisenhower, Reagan, Ford also Roosevelt,
Churchill, Charles and Diana not to mention stars such as Liz Taylor and Judy
Garland…the list goes on…it has also been used in movies such as “Risky
Business”, “My Best Friend’s Wedding”, “Mission Impossible” and more…we stayed
for the “High Tea” then headed back to the hotel (more TV) before heading out
to RPM, an Italian Restaurant which is quite close to our hotel. Highly recommended!
