Chicago: A Photo Essay
I have spent nearly the entirety of the past year in South America. I had become accustomed to great architecture, insightful museums, and entertaining sporting and cultural events. I traveled to Chicago expecting nothing similar to that, and was shocked and impressed with what the Windy City had to offer. This is a photo essay documenting my week in Chicago.

Shedd Aquarium is well worth the entrance fee. But be prepared to spend the entire day here, it is filled with exhibits, a 4D film, and live action shows.
Chicago may not be on your travel lists, it wasn’t on mine, but it should be.
