Chicago day 1: I'm in love with the bean!

First day in Chicago was sooooo fun!!! We (me and DC, my friend who I'm staying with) walked around downtown all day long and I couldn't stop saying: oh.... this is soooo beautiful!!! Every scene, every building is so pretty, so unique, and together they form an incredible city view! ^_^ And the most exciting part of the day was to visit chicago bean sculpture! DC told me that everyone who comes to Chicago should visit the bean sculpture and I wonder what makes it so special. But when I first saw it, I inmediately fell in love with it! it's sooooo exotic and so fun at the same time. I couldn't help but take thousands pictures of it.

And then the food. DC's mom was so kind to prepare us a big feast for breakfast. I can't remember last time I had this kind of food in the morning, but totally enjoyed it.
and then for lunch I went to Veggiegirl's recommendation: Karyn's Cooked.appetizer
I ordered the raw plate: raw hummus (sunflower seeds with tahini), raw nuts paste, two raw rolls with avocado, nut paste and veggies, more veggies and an avocado. Such a cute andvoluminous plate and delicious!!!DC had meat loaf which he seemed to enjoy! :)
And then we had the chicago mix popcorn!
We took the train to go back, totally exhausted DC and me, but I was happy! ^_^
His mom prepared us a nice Chinese dinner.

Such an enjoyable day 1. Today will be another great day, I'll be meeting two fellow famous bloggers! Can't wait to meet these ladies! :)
