I'm wrapping up my 5th clinical rotation. I had the opportunity to come to Springfield Illinois and study orthopaedics for 6 weeks. One of the things I really wanted to do while I was here was travel 3 hours north to Chicago and see the Windy City. It most certainly lived up to its name and all its glory. The architecture is amazing and the city had a certain feel to it that made you feel like you a part of something magnificent. We planned out most of our day around where we wanted to eat. We stopped first thing and got donuts at the donut vault. It was a Pinterest find and was so worth it. We stood outside for 30 minutes waiting to see what was inside. Come to find out its this tiny little bar with a single guy running it. The donuts were delicious though. We then ventured to the Willis tower and rode the elevator 104 floors up one of the tallest buildings in the world. It was such a neat experience.
One of the silly things that has been on my bucket list was to see the Chicago bean, so from Willis tower we hoofed it to millennium park to see the bean. From there we marched down the magnificent mile to Gino's east pizzeria for Chicago style deep dish. It was so good and I are way too much.
I also wanted to see wrigley field, unfortunately when we drove by there was too much construction to really see much at all.
Overall I had an amazing time and would definitely love to go back to explore more of the city. Don't mind my overload of pictures, I chose to blog them all rather than overgram :-)!
