DAY 17: Up Town Chicago, Downtown Chicago and the Tornado

Me and Wowie spent the whole day Downtown and Up town Chicago, basically walking around "The Magnificent Mile" (Michigan Avenue), Navy Pier, hanging beside the Chicago river and a little around the Northwestern Campus. It's really nice to walk around this city during this time (Spring) while you got the Dave Matthews Band, a little Mayonnaise and Cynthia Alexander on your Ipod. The Music just gives your long stroll around the city a good vibe see? You don't really notice how far you've already walk until you take out the earphones, look back and realize that you've already gone 10 to 15 blocks (The City blocks are huge! believe me). Anyway, we missed The Millenium Park and Solider field.. maybe tomorrow or Saturday.. depends on what i do tomorrow.

Anyway, My Parents, Tita Mameng and Nay just got home from Graceland full of Elvis goodies and a tornado story. Apparently, on their way back here in Chicago while they were still in Missouri they were being chased by a tornado. Well.. not literally but every so often the radio station would be interrupted by a tornado warning heading for their way and before exiting Missouri they saw the havoc of the tornado that just missed them. NIIIIICE... hehehe thank God i wasn't there with them and thank God they're safe..

Anyhoo, 4 more days and i'm off to Frisco.. that's the last chapter of this Trip.. thank God.. i want to go home already!!
