Trip to Chicago 3

We run Montana state so far :)

Yes yes, Montana state is massive broad!

Second day at the Amtrak, I had a cheese burger for dinner, and take a Trails & Rails again.

Well, It was not bad.

After dinner, volunteer changed to another person, his name is Don. The guy who is in this photo. He was so funny and good at explain related to Amtrak and nature.

Before get sleep, I met a man who's name is Bill. We talk about my trip.

I told him I'm going to go to Chicago, but I didn't decide where to go. He gave me an advice about trip to the Chicago because he live in the Chicago! hahahaha.

Also Don give me an advice about trip by Amtrak. I told him I'm planning ride 'Coast starlight' and then he said take a flight to Denver, and ride Zypher and Coast starlight. He told me 'You can see whole landscape of California' and I reminded.

Third day, I tried breakfast in the dinning car, I ordered 'French toast'.

Well, it's expensive and..... not good taste. No worth. I don't like it.

We passed Minneapolis MN, 

 Winona MN,

 and Dells WI.

So, Finally, I arrived CHICAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! It takes almost 50 hours!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!

But, as you know, it was fun. Seriously!

After arrived Chicago, I take a 'L' to get to hostel. 

And this is L train's platform.

Chicago has really good public transportation. It's really old and old.(Second oldest train system in the U.S.)

The 'L' is short form of 'Elevated'. Because almost parts are elevated.

If you watched the movie 'Batman Begins', maybe you remembered scene where Rachel attacked from armed man. There is one of stations of the L!

'L' station

 After unpack at the hostel, I showered :) I was so excited because I can't shower almost two days! Anyways, I got a special priced ticket to Willis Tower (also known as Sears Tower) only for student guests who stayed in the IH hostel.

I went to Willis Tower! The Willis Tower is the tallest building in the U.S.!!!!! And the seventh-tallest freestanding structure in the world! Can you imagine? Totally DIZZY!
This photo is taken at the Willis Tower observatory.
I was so impressed when I saw this nightscape.

 

Isn't it wonderful?

And, this is one of funny things in this observatory.

The building's west side has special space. This glass balcony's floor is transparent glass. Yeah, it's kind a scary! 

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I asked someone for take a picture of mine :)
