The amazing trip to Chicago started before I took the plane. I had to earn every shining small coin that arrived to my pocket to finance this adventure in a new country. During five eternal weeks I was a foreigner in this windy city. I stayed with a very kind and united family, the family of my mom’s sister, but at the same time was a strange family for my brother and me. This incredible this trip was loaded with unimaginable experience and striking sightseeing, like Lake Michigan, Navy Pier, and Sky deck.
The first place that I wanted to know was the Michigan Lake. I asked my aunt if we could visit this emblematic place of Chicago, and I did not have to ask it twice. My aunt, cousins, brother, and I traveled during twenty minutes by the driveway. When we arrived to the city, we passed next to the lake and the first impression was immensity dressing blue. We had to walk during twenty minutes to arrive to the artificial beach. When I was looking at the lake I removed my dirty sneakers and I walked above the silky and white sand. I stand for a couple of minutes at the shire of the lake because I was looking at that clean and blue water. Finally, I decided to get in the lake but when my finger toe touched the water I regretted immediately, the water was not cool, it was freezing.
The second place that was one of the most amazing during the trip was Navy Pier. This place was very crowded and you could see people every where. This place was like a combination of a dock and an amusement park. We walked along all Navy Pier and we could enjoy the big lake, refreshing lemonade and a windy and cool evening. We bought tickets for the Ferris wheel. This ride was relaxing and you had two beautiful views, on the right side was the city of Chicago and on the left was the lake. When the ride finished we walked to choose a good place to observe the fire works. At 9: 30, a ship stopped in the middle of the lake just in front of my eyes, and the show started. During twenty minutes I was astonished, the explosion sounded next to my ears and the smell of the sulphur was the perfect complement. This show was full of different colors and shapes.
The third place and the most extraordinary place that I loved in Chicago was the Sky deck, this is the highest building in Chicago and it has 103 floors. This building is one of the most visited places in Chicago. The last floor, a touristic place, shows a 180° view, in other words, you can appreciate the city from north to south and from east to west. The most stunning of this building was a balcony made of glass. When I reached this balcony I got frozen, I have to say that I was not scared I was in shock , I felt I was flying above this gorgeous city.
This trip was one of the most important experiences that would be conserved on my mind and heart for the rest of my life, not only because I could visit amazing sightseeing but also I met my family. I saw a lot of places built by men and nature places that I never imagined. This city is an excellent place to spend holidays.
