Well, first free day for SUSI participants. Some of them have decide to go up to the Hancock Building Observatory. It's 15 bucks but it's worth it. You can appreciate tremendous views on Chicago plus the overwhelming organization around this tourist site. I always envy this capacity of Americans of being able to transform almost anything in a profitable touristic site! I wish we did the same in Spain, instead of making low class chiringuitos (bars on the seaside) grow and grow and spoil our natural environments...
Anyway lovely and exhausting day shopping...well, shop watching I dare say, and witnessing the Magnificent Mile and all those glamorous shops which would drive me crazy if I didn't know I just do not have a single chance to buy anything there...
Back to Millenium park we met the guys for the Rachmaninoff concert...yeap, the music was great but...do you know what I really enjoyed? The sociological experience of watching Americans transform an enormous area into a picnic site...I' m absolutely shocked how many things they can bring around for their picnic ...! some of them had their own small tables with all kind of food and candles to make it even more comfy!!! wow! Welcome to America. I couldn't help thinking about little kiddies running around their parents with lovely Classical music at the background being literally educated in the love for music, family and good company.
Back home I feel absolutely devastated but it was worthy, I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, absolute free day in Chicago and a pile of dirty clothes are threatening me from my closet...I guess I will have the use the laundry tomorrow...maybe I should just stay and rest while laundry is on...well, I'm pretty sure someone will come up with some interesting plans and my clothes will have to wait.
But we'll see...
