At the Gardens

Right before finals I had a friend from Germany visit me. Her name is Lilo (like Lilo and Stitch) and she is hilarious. I took her around all of Chicago for a whole week in the gloomy and cold weather, and everywhere we went bad luck followed us. We went to John Hancock, and instead of going for free to the the cafe on the 96th floor, we had to pay $15 for the observatory on the 94th floor because they lady I ask for help was an idiot. Then, the next day we wanted to take the free trolley to Navy Pier, but we missed it and then waited 30 minutes until we gave up and went to Lincoln Park. I wanted to show her around the suburbs because Chicago has some of the most amazing and cool places to go in the towns near it. So, we want to go to Lincoln Park Zoo, and got an hour after the park had closed. The last day she was here we went to the Botanical Gardens, and it was a very gloomy and cold day because it had been raining the entire morning, but we still went :)
