Around the East Coast in 16 days: CHI.CA.GO!

Well well well! 

Halloooooooooooooooooou... I am BACK! :D

I am ready to share the story in the very first city: CHICAGO.

Where all the chicas gathered together to start the trip! ;)

- Union Station Chicago -

We, Champaign - Urbana, Bloomington and Twin falls Idaho girls, completely met at the Union Station, Chicago, December 20th, 2010 around 5pm. 

 

- Deep dish Pizza -

We brought with us all the suitcases to find the DEEPDISH PIZZA!! Yahhhuuuy. Luckily, the Giordano Pizza was only two blocks away from Union Station. Yay, here we are eating the world-famous deep dish pizza in down town Chicago! :D

 

- First time Couchsurfing -

 Then, we straightly went to Kat Vallera's house in Belmont, North Side Chicago. We stayed (read: couchsurf-ed) at her house for one night, before we took the train to Washington DC the next day. Our first time couchsurfing was really really extraordinary. We also went to the Hancock Building, at the 70th floor (rite?) for a welcoming party (for us! :p). But unfortunately it was cloudy day so we couldn't see any breathtaking view from the window. But we see some light down down down there, though! :p

the review ;)

 - Downtown Chicago-

Well, although this wasn't my  first time visiting Chicago (most of us) we still LOVEEE to explore the city! Downtown Chicago is loveeely. I DO LOVE the sky crapper buildings. They are designed artistically! The "flying" Metra rail? Seeing the train in between the building... (not under the city as NYC's subway) --> Then It's SO CHICAGO!! The Michigan lake and the river inside the city, hmm..... buenooo :) Uh yeah, one more... December changed the city beautifully! With the lights installed along the trees in the path way :D

- Millennium Park  -

Last but not least, we spent a really good photo shoots time in the world famous Millennium Park. Yeah. Chicago's icon. Thousands pictures were created there :p with the magic of self timer ;) hahaha. Unfortunately, not all of them were "rescued", but some of the best are still saved!! Yahuuuuyy...

 

Really, GOOD Times we spent in Chicago!! The CHICAS are ready to rock the journey!! We left Chicago to DC with Amtrak at Wednesday, Dec 21st 2011...
So, Let it begins!! :)

See you in Washington DC :)
