The trip to the windy city


The last tuesday was the trip to Chicago. The travel was amazing, the bus was very confortable and we had time to know many places. First, i went to the Art Institute, it was very nice because i could see pretty near many paintings that i had only seen in my school's books. Also i could look at painting of my favorite painters like Monet and Van Gogh.

After I saw the exhibition in The Art Institute, i went to the Sears Tower's Skydesk. The view is amazing, you can see all the city and there are many posters with the most important moments in the modern history of Chicago in a lot of field like politic, sport, architecture, etc. The downtown is really big with all those stores, restaurants, the building, especially the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Building in Deanborn St.

Finally, i walked by the bay from the Field Museum to the Navy Pier. The walking was pretty but it was very relaxing as well. There are many beautiful city and lake's views to enjoy and the Navy Pier is funny place to share with different kind of persons. It is pretty interesting that each minutes that you are in Chicago you become more confidence, you learn how treat the people and the fear vanishes pretty fast.

The trip to Chicago, the windy city, was truly awesome, it was useful to lost the big cities' fear and it approches us to another part of the American culture.
