Autumn in Chicago and a walking tour of the downtown! I didn't realize how much historic architecture there is in Chicago. The last time I visited it was sub zero temps and all I could think of was hot chocolate and a corner away from the famous windy city streets. Today my friend and I walked over 3 miles (our feet can tell the stories) but we saw some pretty amazing buildings and art. The Harold Washington library is said to be the largest public library in the world, and on the corners of the building sit four huge owls. Chicago's Millennium park holds an interesting sculpture called Cloud Gate, but resembled a metallic kidney bean in my eyes. There was also two tall monoliths with changing photo's and a waterfall that commences after a rotation of pictures from the mouth of the person in that particular photo. The walking bridges reminded me of the bridges in Paris along the Seine. Well, that's alot of walking in a city famous for Al Capone, Bugsy Malone, Batman and the Untouchables!
