Chi-Town

As promised, here are some lovely pictures of my trip to Jill's in Chicago.  It was really fun, I am sad to be back to real life.

We started out going to the cutest little Vietnamese restaurant. It smelled amazing and was so clean, with the cutest little ladies working there.  It was also really inexpensive. Jill and I each got a sandwich and a coke. We shared huge spring rolls, and for both of us it was under $15.00

This is a picture of my sandwich.  I got lemon grass chicken,  on this amazing French bread.  They are all topped with carrots, cucumber,  jalapenos, and cilantro. this is seriously one of the best things I have ever had.

These are the spring rolls that we shared. They were so big we ate about half of this. There was shrimp, pork, and tofu, with delicious peanut sauce.

Here is beautiful Jill enjoying her sandwich.

            

We then took the el downtown. here are some tracks that we rode on.

Beautiful downtown

The river that runs through downtown.

This is the bean in Grant Park downtown Chicago, and Jill and my reflection in the bean!

A beautiful Chicago theater all lit up.

This was my lunch at a restaurant called "Urban Belly" it is kind of an Asian infusion.  This is a hot dog with kimchi, crunchy noodles and some amazing sauces. On the side are some of the best fries, and a delicious curry dipping sauce. Seriously good!

Here is the only picture that came out from the Aquarium.  I don't know what happened that day, but none of my pictures turned out.  This is a Green tree python. We also saw some Monkeys, a lot of fish, octopus, wales, sharks and other crazy animals.

After the aquarium, we went to China town.  It was fun just to walk around and see neat stuff.

 Just on the street was a man with barrels full of live blue crabs. he was cleaning them and getting ready to sell.

We had worked up an appetite dong all that walking and decided to get some appetizers at a chic restaurant in China town.  We got pot stickers, crab and cream cheese won tons, and hot and sour soup.  Little  did we know the portions were going to be so big. Below is Jill and I eating our soup. You can see how large the bowl is, we didn't even finish half of it.
