The Windy City - Day 2

Today we walked down to Millennium Park.

The Wrigley Building - a really cool building in Chicago - check out the bridge joining the buildings near the top.

Here we saw the famous 'bean' - a massive silver bean shape object that reflects the Chicago buildings (and made you look like a dwarf when you looked in it!).

We then caught a train around 'The Loop' (down town). The train is elevated above the ground.

We got off at Sears Tower - the tallest building in the USA. We were a bit towered out, so we decided not to go up.

We continued walking down to the south side of town to Grant Park and had a look at Buckingham Fountain - one of the largest fountains in the world, before making our way to the aquarium.

We watched some dolphin shows and got to see some cool animals like the beluga whales, sea otters, sea lions and of course dolphins, fish and sharks.

We grabbed some lunch and left. It took us a bit longer to get home due to heavy traffic through road works, and arrived home just before midnight.
