48 hours in Chicago!
I'd never been to Chicago but reallu have liked to! Last month I was going through an hard time and definitely needed a rest! Like a fool I book my hotel on <a href="http://www.prontohotel.com/">prontohotel.com</a> and flight to Chicago. I started off your morning with a boat cruise up the Chicago River to see the city’s most iconic buildings, including the Wrigley Building, the corn cob buildings of Marina City and the new Trump Tower. For lunch, I had a Chicago hot dog. It’s all beef with a poppy seed bun, served with yellow mustard, onions, relish, a dill pickle, chopped tomato, hot peppers, and a dash of celery salt. If you have never tried it, just do it! After lunch, head to the stunning Art Institute of Chicago in Millennium Park.
Then I pop into the Cloud Gate, the most popular piece of public art in the city, often called The Bean for its overwhelming resemblance to a giant metallic jelly bean. Leave time for some shopping down Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. For dinner, I had Chicago’s famous deep-dish pizza at Pizzeria Uno or Due. A piece of advice: wait in line. It’s worth it. After dinner, I cought some jazz at one of the city’s famous jazz clubs. The foolowing day irt was a cultural day as I went to the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium or the Adler Planetarium, as they are all right next door to each other, across the street from Soldier Field. Finally I finoshed my days with a visit to Navy Pier and a ride on the Ferris wheel, for a great view of all of downtown Chicago and its stunning lakefront. I really enjoy mt 48 hours trip in Chicago!

Chicago has been a fun city to visit, shop, especially holidays, fine dining and just walking about your city.
Love Michigan Avenue and enjoy just watching people from all over the world. Quite a city with some wonderful people.
