Hey everybody!
Its Sunday morning and have just been out for breakfast went to an Austrian Eatery Place-had the local special "the Austrian" lol, just eggs and bread! lol, sunny side up please!
Woke up yesterday morning to open the blinds to find the whole of Chicago had just been hit by what is apparently the last snow storm of the season! It was awesome, but so bloody cold! -7 i think, -12 in Boston however!
Yesterday was full of sightseeing, the Sears Tower the tallest building in North America was awesome however there was only a 5 mile visibility but everything was covered in snow! Pretty cool photos! Then we headed on the lonely planets, walk of Boston, which covered about 4-5 miles of the best places to visit in Chicago!
The Bean above in the photo was covered in snow! And it kept dropping off onto peoples head! Funny!! Haha, the walk took a while! But several stops at Starbucks for hot chocolate kept Hannah happy! We headed into Macys as it got so cold-a little retail therapy never did anyone any harm! Bought some new levi jeans on sale of course, and we spent about 2 hours gazing and looking at all the cool stuff! I was tempted by a dkny watch but i thought i might want to eat in New Zealand, and besides i already have the armani to carry! (pride and joy lol!)...after several stops along the way to break from the cold, we reached the Chicago River! YEaaaaah! and found a man and woman statue (he looked like he had timberlands on! Weird!
After all that walking, we headed back on the Subway and showered etc before we went out for dinner! We have eaten so many burgers, sandwiches etc we decided a pasta dinner would make a nice change! So steaming hot bowls of pasta came out and it was delicious! A nice drink would have been nice, never thought i was going to miss alcohol but would love a smirnoff or a vodka and coke! First thing im going to do when i get to New Zealand-steak and smirnoff! lol, anyways we spent the rest of the evening chilling at the hostel, washing! lol i put all the clothes in the dryer only to find i pressed the wrong button and but the dryer above on with nothing init! So no pjs until it was done, 12am this morning i couldnt wait for the bloody thing to be done! Haha, anyways just been to the supermarket for some fruit and juice for the train, and heading to the Great Plains Monday/Tues/Weds, before we hit Grand Canyon on Thurs! Whoo, dont know when im next going to get online! Thankyou all for the lovely messages, im having a bit of a missing home day today, missing u mum and iain, and of course friends and other family! Im off to brush my teeth and pack up before we get the train!
Hope it isnt too cold at home, missing you all!
Lots of love from Flossy, Fi, Iffy-whatever u know me by lol! cya xx
