Chicago!

Som en del af ferien er vi 5 dage i Chicago. En by, hvor jeg tidligere kun har set lufthavnen og overnattet på et hotel i nærheden af selvsamme lufthavn.
Vi bor et godt stykke væk fra centrum, men et meget, meget hyggeligt sted med god plads til alle.
Centrum af byen er dog kun en togtur væk, og i går var vi på første visit. Som i alle filmene, kørte togene rundt i 1. sals højde.

As part of the vacation, we spend 5 days in Chicago. A city that I only visited in the airport and when I stayed overnight at a hotel very close to the same airport.
We live quite some distance from downtown, but in a very, very nice place with plenty of space for everyone.
The center is only a train-ride away, and yesterday, we paid our first visit. Like in all the movies, the train were going around well above ground.

Min niece luftede sin fødselsdagsgave - t-shirten med "Danmark" og dannebrog. Det er dejligt, at hun er glad for den!

My niece put on her birthday present - the "Danmark"-t-shirt. It is nice to see how she likes it!

Vi gik temmelig meget rundt og så en hel del. Bl.a. "The Bean" i Millenium park, hvor der var mulighed for en sær selfie. Det var et meget imponerende kunstværk!

We walked around a lot and saw quite a few things. Among others, we saw "The Bean" in Millenium Park, where there were great opportunities for a weird selfie. This piece of art is impressive!

Vi besøgte også en slikbutik, hvor slikket var ordnet i farver. Vældig pænt.
Faktisk sneg jeg mig også til at besøge en garnbutik. Noget af en skuffelse. Alt lå i plastikposer, og da jeg så betalte for mine 2 nøgler strømpegarn, var det hundedyrt. Men det er vel naturligt, når man vil købe tysk strømpegarn af russiske damer i USA........

We also visited a candy shop, in which the candy was sorted according to colors. Really pretty.
I also sneaked into a yarn shop. Some disappointment! Everything was packed in plastic bags, and when I paid for my 2 skeins of sock yarn, it was terribly expensive. But I guess that is what happens if you insist on buying German sock yarn from Russian ladies in the US.......
