Shedd Aquarium

Shedd Aquarium!! What a nice place... It has a big variety of species... No just fishes, they have snakes, turtles and another kind of animals. Sadly, on Friday we could not see all the Shedd Aquarium, because it close at 5 o'clock... So, we have to leave the building. BUT, I Came back on Saturday, by my own. I could see all the animals I Like, quiet and slowly... The one who has my attention was the SeaHorses... I do love them! Love their history, their mythology, their appearance!

Before that, I could take some time to be seated on a chair, in front of the Michigan Lake and finally write some things and songs I needed to write and express... Oh, yes! And obviously take some photos (And really, really wild photos, but I Can't show them here lol).

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

ChinaTown... A Mysterious place in Chicago... Nice and new tastes of Food... How excited! Oh! And I was too into shopping... To Friends and Family, obvious. This trip was organized by Kendall... So I enjoyed a lot with my classmates!

 




What 'bout this? The last Monday was Holiday in USA, so... We haven't classes and we went to enjoy the skate on ice... I did it just once in my whole life and it wasn't a very good experience... But this one... Gosh! Skate ON ice and UNDER ice... Because was snowing while we were skating... It was a magical experience. Oh! And I didn't fall, so... Yes! It was perfect... Do you notice it for my big smile? :D

By our own we were to... Party! Yey!! We had an entire week here and we didn't dance? No way! So... Saturday was the correct time. We were in a disco called evilOlive, pretty nice, good music... But a little expensive, I mean, it was more than we expected. Nevertheless, I LOVE to dance, so... It was a great night!

Did I mention that I LOVE Shopping? I think I did it... But I'm human too, so I get tired too... And yes! This guy lying on the floor of Target Is Me... Sorry mom!

My First Week In Chicago

Chicago... Chicago, Chicago, Chicago.

I found SO interesting and surprising the "coincidences" of the life. Why? Because I'm living in the center, I mean, in the DOWNTOWN of Chicago... that place when everything converge... Business, Art, Museums, Stores, Brands... If I wanted to live deeply the Chicago's Life in just a month, This is the correct place. The most surprising aspects that I found are the many historic buildings, even if they're converted in stores, They still maintain their beauty architect. About the lifestyle, I enjoy the nice and gentle mood of the chicagoons, and I LOVE the speak way that have the Black chicagoons, I Love the black culture!!! 

About the food, it's excited, why? 'Cos I LOVE to eat and taste new senses and type of foods... even I miss the chilean food too. My favorite meal are the many type and "FREE" fruits that I can eat on Kendall, and the differents soups. My least favorite meal are all the spicy meal... I'm not a fan of the Spicy. 

About the weather *onomatopoeia of cold* I don't like it >.< I don't like at all the cold weather, not here nor Chile... Even the snow is enchanting... Don't like the Cold, But I can visit many places and locations although, but wearing a bear on me!!

I miss the sun of my country, the green places and the smiling people... Here there are many gentle people, but not all smile... So, I gift them one! :D

Harold Washington Library... ?

Ok, The Washington Library... What Can I Say? First, I'm gonna explain my title.. That ? Sign is because I saw a lot of paints, architecturals details... And just a few pair of books, haha, It's interesting... But My whole attention is always put on the architectural details of Chicago, I'm In love with them!!

The Glass dome is enchanting... In that floor there's a kind of little garden with some tables and chairs to enjoy the quiet and peacefully place, it's too perfect to read or WRITE something (Yes, I Think I'm gonna come back).





Finally, as custom, I took some photos with my classmates.
