JLE #2: Favorite Place


Chi-town


The Bean at Millennium Park


I enjoy Chicago mainly because I have family that lives just outside of the city.  Chicago is a super fun place to be, but it gets very cold.  Millennium Park, Hancock Tower, and the Chicago Theatre are a few places everyone should visit if they go.  There is plenty of stuff to do in the city other than visiting all the tourist spots as well.  Deep dish pizza is also something everyone should try if they go downtown.

    I absolutely love that sculpture, Jack! I was so excited to see it here in your post, and I'm going to put that in tomorrow's class announcements... did you know the sculptor is from India? So that makes it even more perfect for the announcements: not only is it beautiful and mind-bending, but it also connects up indirectly with the Indian Epics class too. Yay for Chicago! I have had a blast every time I've been there and now you are making me want to go back again. :-)

JLE#27: Week 7 Story
