Its raining a lot!! So i have decided that rather than going and siting at Starbucks I would come to a place called the library where there is FREE internet!! Yes, you get to use the internet for FREE during 2 hours! How cool is that?? Im becoming so dutch. Tonight i also signed up for a FREE dinner and this morning I went on a FREE walking tour! Maybe too dutch?? I woke up and finally was able to borrow an adaptor from somebody.. haha im doing a lot of adaptor borrowing.. Mine doesnt work and so far I havent had the need to buy one (yeah im too dutch, borrowing and not spending money. I can also say im too Jennyl84 whaha!). So there was FREE breakfast in the hostel,which was very lekker. I met a girl from south korea who is also traveling on her own and it turned out she had also signed up for this free tour..So we headed with 10 more people to the tour. IT was meant to be 2 hours,but it took 3 hours. It was really nice. It turns out in Chicago you must have a green space, park at lesast 6 blocks away from your house. If you dont, then you can complain to the mayor! So cool! :) They got a lot of parcs, the millenium parc is really nice, it has a very big fountain and a lot of curious, intresting sculptures. After the walk I did some more recharging and grandma calls... you got to keep in touch every now and then, or they think the new contient has eaten you up! 
Later on, I headed to this cheap mexican restaurant which was really LEKKER and went up to the Sears tower. I had to go up because i have seen it in so many MegaStructure shows, that it had to be seen. Next place to go up is the taipei101 builduing and the one in malaysia (forget the name...). The view wasnt that nice. I wanted to see lake Michigan,but since it was cloudy I couldnt see THAT much. Then it suddenly started to rain! Luckily i had taken the pictures already! :)As i headed down it was raining harder and harder. I decided not to go to Starbucks (so expensive!). There is a starbucks in EVERY SINGLE corner of this city! Its crazy! So i headed to McDonalds because they also had ice coffee. If you havent figured it out yet, im in love with ice coffe. But that mcdonals one wasnt that great (suprise..!). First I orderd medium and they gave me something that looked like XL for european standards. I told them I wanted medium and they said that what i had in my hands was already medium...!!! The taste was okay but so watery, and big that by the time i got to the library the cup was still half full...the cup traveled to the trash can. I wish the cup a lot of luck to its future travels in the recycling process...
