Chicago Calling!
Hello my people!
Well i managed to get myself free internet for an hour! Im sitting in a beautiful, old public library in downtown Chicago. Arrived in Chicago on Monday afternoon and just chilled out and saw a movie that night (too much partying in New Orleans =P) In the middle of the night got woken up to a fire alarm, and the whole building was evacuated. So we were all hanging out on the street at 3am or so while the fire dep. casually turned up and decided it was a false alarm or whatever. Tuesday came, and I went on a architecture cruise on the river around the city looking at the amazing skyscrapers (did you know....apparently chicago had the first skyscrapers). Then went up on the 92nd floor of the John Hancock Observatory and saw some fantastic views of the city. After that I went to the museum of contemporary art and saw a exhibition by Dan Flavin (Stas, Amit, Bryce...ring any bells?) Was ok. Then wandered around touristy navy pier (great views) and on the way home checked out the Art Institute of Chicago which was very cool. Went out last night to a neighbourhood and had famous Chicago pizza and home brewed beer (have conquered the beer frinking, yay!).
Today I went to the Field Museum of Natural Science (saw man eating lions and good old Sue - beloved tyrannosaurus rex), then the Adler Planeterium, and then the museum of contemporary photography which was great as well as free! Tonight im off to Millenium Park where they have free live classical music, should be interesting.
Off to London tomorrow arvo. Looking forward to it muchly, im a little over the states to be honest. Not to say i havent had a ball while ive been here though, i just dont think its the place for me. By the way mum, keep forgetting to tell you, i tried prawns and ate them and liked them...are you freaked out yet?
I wont be posting any more pics till im settled in London but rest assured, i have many good ones itching to be put on here when i can.
So enough from me. Next time you hear from me ill probably be in London/France!!!
Love you all xoxoxo
