Chicago




First of all...they are not lying when they call this city the windy city. It was constantly windy! And have you ever tasted Chicago style pizza? It's crazy! It is the deepest pizza that I have ever seen or eaten..and the cheese is underneath the sauce. I might have gone to three different restaurants to try the different styles...and they were all amazing. I went to the Art Insitute of Chicago--I love art...I really really love art, the John Hancock Observatory--the second tallest building in Chicago, the Field Museum & Underground Adventure--home the the famous Sue T-rex and many other very cool things, Shedd Aquarium VIP--komodo dragon and lots of fish...very cool, the Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum--I thought that one of the guides was going to keel over.

One of my favorite Chicago moments is when we were getting an impromptu walking tour of downtown Chicago. We were crossing the street and one of the guys we were with was honked at by a trolley. So he yelled, "Hey we're walking here!" in the most quintessentail chicago manner and with the Chicago accent. It was great. Like something from a movie and I loved it!

Millenium Park has a giant reflective bean....which is awesome. This is a picture from underneath it.

We also went to two plays (musicals) while we were there. The first one was called Madame X and whitney and I changed into skirts while in a car with three guys. That was interesting...and the play was very well done as well. Our second night we went "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" which was done at a spa. And we walked through New Orleans to get there. And at the begining of the second act we were mooned by one of the actors...also great.

The view from the top of the John Hancock was amazing...but my camera was mostly dead so I couldn't really get a very good picture....which makes me sad.

It's so sad...I did a ton while I was there but I still feel like I didn't have enough time to do it all...and I might want to go back. Why can't I find a job were they would pay me to do what I want? Gr...
