wow, what a great amazing fantastic wicked day out. the team and our respective host families all met at the train station and headed to chicago city for the day - about an hour and a half trip. the train was full of chicago bears and cubs fans all in their coloured gear. the cubs won theri league (or something) for the first time in 100 years on saturday and so broke their curse!
Firstly lunch in Billy Goats original burger place - surrounded by black and white and yellowed sproting pictures and with staff yelling "Cheeseborger, cheeseborger, cheeseborger!!"
Then a boat trip on the rier and out to the lake and wiht a commentary on the architecture. we were all swivelling our heads 360 degrees, fantastic buildings and now they're desgning Super Tall buildings!
The lake is enormous, we couldnt even see the horzion from the 96th floor of the Hancock building where i had a skyscraper cocktail - whcih is what you do of course!
I absolutely loved millenium park and the public sculpture 'the bean', its fantastic and magic how everyone young and old engages with it.
a great day and home on the train and straight to sleep!
