Chicago - Day 3

Well, the good thing is that our trip was only 14 days so only 11 more to go . . . just kidding. This first picture is not the best but is to prove that we were actually there together :) We had a brunch with OHSU Alumni on top of the John Hancock building that morning but you can't tell from the picture how great the view was.

After the brunch we went on an Architecture River Tour. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip. Because Justin actually got to come with me and because the architecture in Chicago is amazing. We learned so much and had such an amazing time. So much history in those buildings. We saw where Al Capone had his "furniture office", where the newer Batman movies were filmed, where Oprah works out. The list is really long. It was great.



The Chicago Tribune building. This was built for a contest to see who could build the most beautiful building in the world and this building won.

There's the Sears (now the Willis but they refuse to call it that) Tower peeking through there.

The "macaroni" sculpture

Trump tower - I actually really like this building
After the tour we walked to Millenium Park and this is us reflected in the Cloudgate (locally known as "the Bean") sculpture. This is where we always saw the most people congregated.
Can you find us in this one?

Buckingham Fountain - we hung out here and watched the sun set - beautiful!
Another wonderful day in the Windy City!
