CHICAGO!

So, this weekend, I visited Simon in Chicago! We did all the usual tourist stuff, like visited the bean, went up tall buildings, went to navy pier, visited the shops, went out for a lovely dinner. It was a lovely, well needed, catch up. And it was nice to get out of Champaign for a weekend!

The weather was not too amazing... In fact, we found ourselves in the middle of a tornado....

It was so scary and Chicago was basically flooded; we had to seek refuge in McDonalds! What made matters worse was the fact that we were on the top of the highest building in the USA when the storm struck! We got evacuated before the building began to sway too much!!! The wind was so powerful I was literally could not even move. But, the storm was not that bad in Chicago compared to elsewhere in Illinois!

Besides this little scare, the weekend was lovely!! Here are some touristy pictures!
