We arrived to Chicago and then headed over to Millennium Park. The Face Fountain was activated and I was really happy because I kept trying to tell Julia about it but it's really hard to explain so I was glad she got to see the full affect. Here is a picture of her standing by the Face Fountain:
They had really ugly faces today for some reason. They were all really old and it was kind of upsetting! Then we walked over to the bean where we took the POD of the whole group that went to Chicago. Julia and I also took a picture together of our reflections because we're cute so here is that picture to share with you!:
Aren't we just adorable!?!? Then the group headed over to Buckingham Fountain which was also sprouting its wondrous spurts of water!!! Every time I see the Buckingham Fountain, I think of Jill and the tiny squirt of a water fountain she thought was the Buckingham Fountain that one time...:D hahaha Here is a picture of the fountain in all its glory:
As you can see from the picture, it shoots pretty high up in the air!! It was kind of windy today so all the water was spraying us and we were all getting wet and we were so far away!! We kept getting farther and farther but we were still getting soaked!! Some people were holding umbrellas to protect themselves :) After seeing the fountain, we were told to break up into groups to wander Chicago by ourselves. Our group consisted of six people and we decided to walk to the restaurant Dick's Last Resort where the waiters are intentionally mean to you. Our waiter wasn't too bad but he did make fun of Julia and he kept pushing my hat over my face. One waitress yelled at us because we were staring at her and we laughed hahaha :) The same lady also made one person from the group she was waiting on serve the drinks to the people haha It was pretty entertaining :) At this restaurant, they also make hats out of paper and write inappropriate/crude things on them. Here are pictures of the six of us in our hats:
Mine said "Can't wait to start stripping" hahaha :) I felt like it really described who I was as a person :D If you look closely in the first picture, the guy between me and Julia has a really funny but inappropriate hat :) When we went to tip our waiter, we did half the tip in bills and the other half in change because we wanted to be obnoxious. Since we had so many coins, we decided to do this with them:
hahaha :) One of the girls even put half dollars in there :) When we walked out, our hats were hitting things and the workers yelled at us to stop touching their things :) Then we walked around the city wearing our hats and everyone was staring at us and a lot of people thought we made them ourselves haha :) We went into a gift shop to spend some time and the Germans bought some things. Then we headed back to meet the rest of the group and we walked back to the train station and went home! After we got home, Julia and I went to Barnes and Noble because we're nerds and we spent a nice time in there looking at the beautiful books! We headed home then I stayed up really late finishing my homework! Hoorah! It was a pretty great day and I had a lot of fun!
