Chicago
We had a slow start to the day today. We didn't end up leaving the hotel till about 11am and we decided to wander around the shops. After we stopped for some lunch we found a shop that sold Chicago Cubs jerseys. I bought a jersey and Katrina bought a shirt that said chicago cubs on it. We decided to head back to the hotel after that and we wandered down the ritzy street of Chicago to the hotel. We had a rest once we got back to the hotel we got ready to go to the baseball game. We were both really excited about it. We got our tickets and made our way up to our seats and it was way way in the back, we couldn't get further away from the field. The good thing was we got a good view of the field. We had so much fun watching the game and eating hot dogs it was definitaly the highlight of Chicago. So the cubs ended up losing the game 4-2 and there was 38 400 people there so it was massive. Once the game finished we were going to catch the train back to the hotel but the line was massive so we were going to catch cabs. We happened to walk past a stretch limo and we got the driver to take us back for $60. It was awesome we had a great time. Everyone was so jealous when we told them how we got back to the hotel. Katrina decided to go to the local bar and I decided to go to bed. Well Katrina didn't get back in the room till 2am and just when I had gotten back to sleep we were hit with a massive storm and the thunder and lightening was just crazy. It did cool things down a bit which was good.

Hi Lucy
ReplyDeleteWe have learnt to sleep on the bus so we get some sleep whenever we are on the road. The food is very interesting, though we are looking forward to a home cooked meal.
Love Bec and Trin
