Einen guten Rutsch 'Happy New Year',,
Pablo, Andres and I stayed in Chicago for about a week to pass the holidays together.
I picked them up at the airport on Christmas Eve. From then we have seen each district of the city very well. We have seen the loop, lakeview, hyde park, pilsen, chinatown and many more!! And as usual, touristing with Pablo involves getting to know the city well.

We have been to a Blues bar, which is amazing. I highly recommend
Kingston Mines to anybody going to Chicago.

Also we have bought some delicious Asian snacks in Chinatown (dry shrimp, sweet algues, dry mushrooms, ...).
For us the Chicago City Pass was the money worth. Especially for the Art Institute of Chicago. Other museums included the Shedd Aquarium with awesome otter :), the field museum, museum of science and industry and the Skydeck, which is recommendable on a sunny day!
The weather was unbelievable cold! Well being in Wisconsin for quite some time more I will have get used to it. But we used layers and layers to stay warm... and I guess that milkshake on a -20
°C wasnt the smartest idea (still worth it)
.
Now enjoy the pictures!
