Weekend trip to Chicago
Last weekend (13/14. 10.) I joined Valeska, Emily and Hannah (all of them harp students) on their spontaneous trip to Chicago. (finally a chance to see more of America than just Bloomington!!!)
The tour started with me sleeping in and waking up by Valeska knocking at my window for at least 5 minutes. (thank God, that my room in the basement) I woke up quite shocked because the 2 other girls were already waiting outside in the car. Even though I managed somehow to sit in the car within some minutes, I kept feeling confused and dizzy the whole day.
After driving through the completely flat fields of Indiana for over 3 hours, we entered Illinois (yeah, another state, and another time zone!) and arrived in Chicago after a 4 hours drive and exactly 233miles/374 kilometres.
We went for lunch in a very American Italien restaurant, then we visited Navy Pier,a kind of Vergnügungspark on a huge pier with view out of Lake Michigan. Then we walked around a bit between the skyscrapers and visited the art museum:

I was suprised, how many famous paintings were hanging around there! Picassos, Monets, Manets, Renoirs, van Goghs,...
Here is a self portrait beween some older sky scrapers (yes, some of them really looked like from the turn of the century - very nice):
In the evening we visited a harp concert of course, with a great wine and cheese reception aferwards. The whole "harp-high society" has seemed to meet there and the 3 girls were very excited, whereas I enjoyed trying all those delicious cheeses, fruits and sweets from the buffet instead.
Then we drove to Emily's aunt's place in a suburb of Chicago where we could spend the night.
Of course I filmed also this time, I will add an excerpt here as soon as posisble- like the last time. So till soon! :)
