I’ll be the first to admit that my vision may be a bit skewwed, seeing as the person I was with made my trip memorable. But I really did enjoy the town! Small enough to make you feel safe, yet large enough to make you feel like there’s something to do (I come from a small town, so this was quite a treat), I felt so comfortable here. I got to visit K-State, or at least a part of the student union and the computer lab…did the movies, ate at Old Chicago, toured the mall (a complete accident brought about by not being able to get into the place I was hanging out at while the visitee was in class), got to see the hospital (chuckles), drank in Aggieville, and saw the whole city from the top of the hill, right above the letters that spell ‘Manhattan.’ In truth, I thought it a wonderful town, and I can’t wait to visit again…

Last spring, one of my best friends and I headed to Chicago for a few days and made Navy Pier our last stop out of town. It was early spring, but still fairly warm and we got to take a speedboat tour, see the stained glass museum, and ride the big old ferris wheel. Mini golf was good and so was Riva’s…a bit pricey and my food was really spicey, but damn was it good! I plan on going back again sometime in the future and would really like to see Navy Pier at night with all the lights and entertainment I’ve heard about.
