i just got back from chicago about a half an hour/ an hour ago and it was sooooo frikin AWESOME!!!!! we went as an art class and got to go to the institute of chicago where we got to view picasso, cezzanne, polluck, and my most favorite SLAVADOR DALI!!!!!! i have a ton of pictures from there and might post a few, don't know if i'll post the video of us being stupid dorks sucking helium out of balloons. and then after that we had an hour to have lunch and cruise the magnificent mile for a bit, i'd love to be able to go back and stay for hours to shop. and after that was to the field museum, you know the one, it's the one with the largest put together t-rex skeleton SUE! we went to see the king tut exhibit, i really liked it but would've been a little better if there were less people, there we saw 5000+ years old artifacts found in king tuts tomb but it's kindof dissapointing that you never see king tut himself but it was still SWEET!! after that was to dinner which was geno's pizza, it was pretty good and i got to sign the wall in 4 places, it was pretty SWEET as well. i did get some awesome souvenirs (the ones i could afford) they were a poster of the old guitarist, pocket guide book, and salvador dali book from the chicago institute and then an awesome scarab pendant from the field museum. i really really REALLY want to go back even though i think i'm allergic to the city because my allergies were going frikin insane and no amount of allergy medicine would work and i ended up losing my voice because of it, so yes i sound like a stoned chipmunk on helium. i know my mom said that the art institutes aren't that great but the chicago one seems awesome, i'm sooo in my element in chicago, I LOVE IT!!!! there was art on every corner, every building was it's own masterpiece, music on every corner. it may smell like sewer there but only sometimes. but i really really want to go back and stay a few days, not one of these leave frikin early in the morning and come home ridiculously late at night.
so to sum it all up into 3 all cap words and 10 words in parenthesis: I LOVED IT!!!!! (despite feeling like i was about to die from allergies)
i'll try to post pictures soon, lots of love--anastassia
