Chicago...part 2

Back downtown I enjoyed free wifi access at Starbucks while having lunch. My goal for today is two eat all my meals at Starbucks :)

After finishing up the lunch I walked around downtown looking for stamps. I wasn't successful so I'm sorry to announce that the few that can expect a postcard will get Swedish stamps on them :(

I was successful in returning a pair of the earrings I bought at Macy's on Thursday in LA that broke the first day. I also managed to by two new once though :)

I must say that I really enjoyed Chicago. Probably more than all the other American cities I've visited this year except for New York. I can't really describe it more than a feeling though.



Looking towards Millennium Park.



The train system above ground. Reminds me so much of the TV-show ER that I will mention more about further down.



Looking up at an emergency exist staircase outside an apartment building.



I like how many American cities try to make busses look old. To me it just looks ridiculous.



This is also a way of getting forward if you have one leg in a casket.



Yeah! Chicago!



I don't think I would choose to walk through this narrow street.



A cool building.



Roses!



I like the top of the building in the middle.



I think the yellow warning cone was part of the art installment.



For us ER-fans two streets reminded me of the TV-show that took place here: LaSalle St. (above) and Wells St. (below).







O'Hare train station.

This morning when I arrived at O'Hare I though this was a pretty cool and very modern airport. But now I've changed my mind. So few opportunities to charge your electronics and no free wifi which the other airports I've visited during this trip have had. And San Diego airport yesterday had great charging stations built in to the rows of chairs by the gates.

Soon time for flight number second, the 8 hour one, to Munich! I hope I will sleep most of the way :)
