{Clauds, Gabriele, & Amanda} |
okay, so i went up to chicago for my friend claudia's wedding. one of the days i was there we went into the city. we took a bus (abt a 30 minute ride) to the train station, which we took into the city (also about a 30 minute ride). i have a picture of the rail system map, but it's not that significant, so i'll get on to the important stuff.

For instance, we went to the city for a boat tour. it was an architectural tour, which is way awesome, because ever since i met claudia we've discussed architecture. her love is far more extensive than mine, but it was cool to learn about the architecture of chicago...which is a way important part of their culture and history. The guy narrating the tour was a native chicagoan and knew more about chicago than i thought one person could know...he had us looking this way and that. and then i caught a cute moment between clauds and gabriele (whom i called gabe throughout the week, for the lack of being able to pronounce his italian name).

So after we finished with the boat we walked several blocks to Michigan Avenue also know as Chicago's Magnificient Mile. I didn't take a lot of pictures while we were there, but i did take at least one that proved that i was there. we were on a mission though and had to walk like forever to get to macy's. okay so maybe it wasn't forever, but it sure seemed like it.

well after that we went down to the train (we got on underground, so i guess you could call it a subway at least for a portion of it) There were tons of people...it was crazy! But i'm glad i got to experience it for myself. Needless to say it was a pretty long ride back so some people {clauds + gabe} snoozed...it was cute though so i forgave them...which was all good because later i got to take a nap, and they didn't.
It was so cute to see them together and helping each other through the stress and still in love. It was awesome, and i'm glad i was able to share this time with them.
Love you guys!

Sounds like you had a blast! If I had to live in a big city, Chicago would be one of my choices.
Wow! I'm so glad that you got to be with Claudia - that is awesome! And yes, Chicago is way cool!
