This was the week we went to Chicago. Now it's time for me to tell and show more of our trip there. In the photo above we are up on the sky terrace of America's highest skyscraper, the Willis Tower. There is a glass terrace where you can see the whole city under you. Quite scaring if you look down, but we all managed to go there, although I'm very afraid of hights.
Our flight to Chicago with Swissair was very nice and comfortable. We watched lots of films, I read my book and once in a while they brought us something to eat - dinner, swiss chocolate, ice cream, ecc. The food was very good, too.
Our hotel was a small Best Wetern hotel and we had a big room. There was a self service breakfast with cereals, pancakes, peanut butter, maple syrup, muffins, ecc. in a small room and you could eat it in the cosy lobby or you could take it into your room or, if the weather had been warmer, out in the garden.
One thing that surpriced me was that people were so friendly in such a big city. There were different situations were their helpfulness really surpriced me. They also have a very nice way to wish you a nice day when you go to a shop, to a coffee shop or a restaurant and that puts you in a good mood.
So what did we do in Chicago besides eating delicious hamburgers, cakes and muffins? We also tried the Chicago deep dish pizza in a famous restaurant near our hotel, which included a lot of waiting, but the pizza was very good. It's a very thick pizza with lots of ingredients inside.
Watched Armando's marathon.
And just strolled around the city.
On our last evening we had dinner with other Italian marathoners in the Chicago House of Blues.
