Well, Chicago was a blast! Exhausting, but fun. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were full of scheduled tours and Saturday was a free day. One of the things I most enjoyed was visiting the IIT campus as well as Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio. I'm not a huge fan of Wright as a person but I can't deny that he was an amazing designer, acutely aware of every detail. Thursday afternoon, we took an architectural boat tour and it was absolutely freezing! After the first 45 minutes, the tour guide had lost us all - it was terribly difficult to focus on her over the loud roar of clattering teeth. Needless to say, the last 30 minutes were a bust. One night, a small group of us found a great dueling piano bar and it was such a great time! Why can't Clemson have something like that?!?
I really enjoyed Chicago as a whole. It was a nice change of scenery from Clemson and it seems to be a very accessible city (for the most part). I love having everything you could ever imagine right there for the taking..everything from food to shoping to art and music. Quiesha and I found a wonderful Asian fusion restaurant on our last night and it was a great way to end the trip.
