Kicking off our Route 66 Centennial Tour with a walking tour around beautiful Chicago! 🇺🇸
Did you know that Route 66 historically began at the corner of Adams Street and Michigan Avenue? To celebrate its 100th anniversary, a new ceremonial starting point was unveiled at Navy Pier, creating a symbolic “Pier to Pier” journey from Chicago all the way to Santa Monica Pier in California!
Our Chicago highlights included Navy Pier, the scenic Riverwalk, Millennium Park and the famous “Bean,” along with plenty of beautiful architecture and fascinating history shared by our local Deaf guide! 🙌🏼
And of course, you can’t leave Chicago without trying its famous deep-dish pizza at one of the city’s iconic pizzerias, like Giordano’s! 🍕
Next stop: Springfield, Illinois, as we officially hit the Mother Road! 🛣️
