CHICAGO!


Chicago was a busy city, mostly wet and filled with bussiness suits and people wanting your money. On first arriving I headed to the hostel, as it was 5ish when I arrived I lounged around there for a few hours before heading to the Navy Pier. This place gave me great views of the city aswell as a great insight into the world of stain glass windows at USA's only dedicated stain glass window museum. Aboad this pier was also a theater, ballroom, shops, many ports and a fun fair. After some food I hired a bike and peddled my way to the Lincoln Memorial Garden.
The next day I went on a walking tour of Chicago, seeing all the magnificent sights and buildings, aswell as a orange water fountain (orange for halloween) and plenty of squirrels. In the afternoon I strolled around Chicago's Contemporary Art Museum, a small place, but well worth a look.
Day three and another art museum, this time seeing some of the greats, like Van Gogh, Monet and that picture of that night corner cafe. I then decided to go up the Willis tower, formally Sears tower, but the clouding weather and price ($70) put me off. To finish my day I headed to the Millenium Park.
On my last day I went to Lincolon Zoo, big and free, one of the best I've been to. I brought a spoon.
After a 16 hour bus trip I'm now at Mitchell, SD, waiting for my clothes to dry. Bye!
