Sweet Home Chicago







Tuesday took us to the Windy City, where the weather was sunny and HOT. But our students found the city to be very cool! It helped when one group arrived at the bus with a box full of tasty donuts!

We saw the city from its highest viewpoint, the top of the world famous Sears Tower. Many students commented how different the city looked from such a high perspective.

Next we visited the Planetarium and Buckingham Fountain. From these locations, students took outstanding photos of the city skyline. The views are truly amazing!

We then turned the students loose in the city (poor Chicago!) where they explored and shopped and ate and walked. Such freedom in one of the world's best cities is an exciting time.

Finally, we stopped for dinner near the Hard Rock Cafe, where several other restaurants can also be found: Rainforest Cafe, Portillo's, Ed Debevics, Rock & Roll McDonalds and more. We also found the Hard Rock Cafe store full of nearly 20 of our students shopping for souvenirs. A great way to end a perfect day in Chicago!
