Another pretty city, it's not as busy as New York and also not as big as New York but it still seems like a pretty cool city to visit. I loved the "Bean", a sttainless steel sculpture made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together. It's sooooo shiny, I stare at it all day long! I figured it must be the city's bit of bling.

We also went for a walk along the gorgeous waterfront, it has stunning views of the city and a massive fountain - Buckingham Fountain. it is 280ft in diameter and 25ft high, I read that it should be visited twice- once in day time and also at night. We went for a fast stroll, LoL along the 'magnificent mile' and managed to buy a thing or two..

Short and sweet...
