"Drake Hotel, Chicago" -- at a tender age that was my introduction to The Drake hotel from Mission Impossible, and clearly it made an impression as I hiked along the Magnificent Mile to see The Drake. The hotel on the outside is not that impressive, but inside the hotel is beautiful and well-worth a look.

I sat in the lobby/bar area and drank tea, listening to the fountain, and watching the other patrons. It was relaxing, but I also thought about my next mission!
