Chicago my type of town

Chicago surprised us, what a beautiful and vibrant city! Ben and I explored it this weekend. We both were astonished how beautiful and vibrant Chicago presents itself. The boat ride through the city gave us a good impression of the different architecture phases. From  Lake Michigan the skyline is impressive, passing by the first Ferris Wheel oft the world. We stolled down "The Magnificent Mile". Parks, art fest, the bean, fountain, flowers and many activity the city offers, kept our attention throughout the day. Of course you can't visit Chicago without going up the 103 floors of the Willis tower (former Sears tower). The views are spectacular and stepping out into the glass box was a tomy tickling experience. The day ended at one of the famous pizza places where we digged into the deep dish specialty. A big city with its own flavor. Its worthwhile to spend some time in this type of town.
