rewind_Chicago

So ya already know I’ve been on a biking tour around the city and it was amazing. The free day was time spent with mum’s friend and her family. Her husband is truly a mr. fix. It. Can weld/make almost anything, including his own airplane. So I went for a ride around the Chicago suburbs at the local airport where he stores his aircraft. Siiiickkk…..

Pictures_
bwhahaha we rule the roads
night views were amazing
group pics with my camera haha. everyone seems to like my camera

Free day - lewl sitting on a car that aint ours
flyyyyyyyyyy

and take offf
the suburbs

really big mansion like houses 0_0 for suburbs
lol how HUGE is ikea!


Then went up Sears Tower, the tallest in the city. Went up to level 103 for the viewing deck. It’s just like Eureka building with the whole glass window box protruding out of the building (expect they are permanently stuck, there are four and its free =P) Took photos but sadly I was up there on a day of a thunder storm Y_Y” I didn’t get wet, as the rain stopped as we exited the building, but not good views into the other states! *sigh *
Met up with the gang to watch a baseball game, to which the team we were supporting “White Sox” lost terribly to the “Tigers” *hangs head in shame* as we pile into a SUPER PACKED subway train back to the hostel. One extremely squishy ride. 31,000 people attended the game approximately. Beers were $7.95 each, hot dogs $3.45, water/soda $4.50, so you can imagine the profit they made!!! I got tired of watching after the fifth inning lewl.

On the side_

Hostel International is really awesome. They have programs and events and walking tours organized and you just have to sign up and rock up. You are staying with other travellers so you can share information and experiences. Their included breakfast is amazing, muffins, croissants, cereal, toast etc etc and orange juice…..gah I crave a good glass of orang juice. Goina get it when I come back to Australia. =P
