I just got back from my school trip to Chicago, and I had a great time. The weather was cold and windy with rain, so my group had to find some indoor things to do. Chicago is big and has a lot of people, but not as crowded as New York City. My group mostly walked everywhere as long as it was within a 40-minute distance. Otherwise, we used Uber which is a fairly cheap way to get around with a group. One thing I learned about Uber (since it was my first time using one) is that sometimes the Uber drivers will cancel the pick-up.
Since it was raining, I wasn’t able to go outside much, but I did get a chance to go to Millennium Park.
I also went to the Art Institute of Chicago–which has student discounts. I enjoyed seeing all the different art that was there. The gift shop also had a bunch of cool things like art books, scratch off world maps, and jewelry.
The last place I went to was the famous Giordano’s. This place is known for its stuffed deep dish Chicago pizza. I got the meat and more meat pizza, as well as the super veggie. Both were amazing, but the super veggie was my favorite.
Going to Chicago this April was good, since there was so much to do despite the poor weather. I hope to go back in the summer so I can explore the parks and outdoor attractions more.
