Chicago, here we go!

---

Heard a lot about Chicago since I have first cousins who have lived here for more than ten years. Was not able to contact them but I was able to call up my high school friend Lisa Dacanay.

We went from cold San Francisco to colder Chicago, it was very, very, very...cold...brrrrrrr..... I had three layers of clothing, earmuffs, gloves and boots on..still i felt cold. Actually, it was my first time to go to US at this time of the year.

We stayed at O'hare area and we needed to take the train every time we went downtown. We checked out the Sears Towers and just walked along the windy cold streets. We went to Shed Aquarium the next day and was surprised that there was a dedicated feature of Philippine marine life. We went to Gurnee Mills also - enjoyed shopping of course.

But again we had work to doooo...groan...

You know I loved the Walgreen stores here..they're everywhere...

From Chicago, we were going to Los Angeles then back home to Manila.

Hi there Kabayan! It's nice to finally read a post from a fellow Filipina in I.T.! Anyhow, I've been itching to go to the Shedd Aquarium. It's nice to know they feature Philippine Marinelife there. Galing! Thanks po!

Hi Eda! I finally got the chance to see Shedd 2 weeks ago. I felt so proud that our country is being featured at that whole floor! Superb!
