LAX-ORD-CMH

Well... I'm happy to say after a night at LAX, I got outta that port and made it to chicago. While I was waiting for my flight though, I met a few other people that were trying to make it out as well. We had a pleasant evening in the airport waiting... and waiting. HA. So, public transportation in Chicago is amazing! My friend was able to give me very good directions to his apt. The subway and buses worked out well. The apartment is a 5 minute walk from Lake Michigan (you can catch a glimpse of it just through some trees) I do have to say I REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoyed visiting the city. Something really appealing, exciting, fun, and busy about a big city.










On saturday we had a busy day of touring around in the downtown district. There was a TON to see, but not enough time unfortunately :-( BUT the main points were hit, so as the next few pics will show, we made use of time. Millennium Park holds view to many art exhibits for people to see. One of the most interesting ones, was a large metal bean that was really reflective and didn't have any seams. If you stood directly under it, there was a lack of perspective to where you are under it. The next few pics will give you an idea... (the one of me and my friend is a reflection off of the bean)

Well, after having way too much fun with photos and messing around at the park, we decided to head up to the sears tower. Because it stands out as such a strong landmark in chicago, it would be a shame to visit and not head to the top. Sears tower is one of the tallest in the world, so it was really cool to go up over a 1,000 feet. (being a pilot a thousand feet doesn't seem like much, but at least we get a good view) Security and a quick film about the tower breezed by, then we shot up the elevator to the 103 floor...




Lake Michigan provides a great sailing for those who have a boat... or people who know someone who has a boat :-)



















Okay..... wellll the fun had to end, but im still looking forward to the new gig! so the drive from chi town to ohio begins! It was about 7 hours, but went by pretty quickly. I forgot what the color green looked like because of all the brown in apple valley. needless to say I enjoyed myself. till next time... enjoy
