Our first part of the schedule for Tuesday was a visit to the John Hancock Center, the 33rd highest skyscraper in the world and a building with the fastest elevators in the North America. Our goal was to get in the 94th of 100th floors, which offers a 360 degrees view deck of Chicago. As this was the first and the last opportunity to do it during our stay in the US, we paid for a tour despite a bad weather and a visibility. Yeah, we did not see much... After that, we moved next to the Buckingham fountain that appeared in the famous TV series Love and Marriage.

Around the noon, we were waiting on the Colorado Avalanche players outside their hotel and then had a great lunch at the local restaurant - nothing else than a famous Chicago pizza deep dish which smaller version is for two people...

We took a relax at our apartment on the 21st floor in the Downtown before the evening game. In United Center, we watched the game from the very last row - a standing room - as we could not afford to pay for the more expensive tickets. Anyway, Avs have not lost a game in a regulation during the Invasion X yet.
