It was great to catch up with my New Zealand "cuz". We picked up where we left off in Hong Kong a few years ago. We had a great coffee chat at Intelligentsia. Colin was a bit wired because the brew was strong!
We also did a whack load of touristy stuff together. Like check out the Willis Tower.
And stroll down the Magnificent Mile. Across the street is the Historic Water Tower.
We spent most of one afternoon in Grant Park, including Millennium Park. Here's the famous Cloud Gate, a.k.a. the Bean.
And here's the Crown Fountain. Even though it was cloudy, there were lots of kids splashing around.
The grass was soggy so we couldn't get up close and personal with the Jay Pritzker Pavillion. Who knew Colin could hang upside down with his hands in his pocket!
Before heading for an early supper, we made one last stop during our park walk at the Buckingham Fountain.
Overall, we managed to do a lot in 72 hours. We look forward to seeing my NZ cuz again, hopefully in Toronto! :)
