By train...
By ship...
No... by flying Ford Anglia!
Chris and I drove down to Chicago to check out the Harry Potter Exhibition. It was a lot of fun! Sure, there was plenty of staff with fake British accents, but it was pretty cool seeing all of the props and costumes from the movies. We couldn't actually take pictures IN the exhibit, so all of the above pictures are from elsewhere in the museum. I bought a book that had pictures of the exhibits so that I could at least have something.
The exhibition runs into the evening after the museum closes. We didn't get a picture by this big banner beforehand, so when we got out of the exhibit, we went to get a picture in front of it and they turned the lights off right when we were about to take the picture... Photoshop helps, but it's still a little dark...
This (below) is a Lego set that was designed based on Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water. They had a few Lego sets based on his architecture, but they were much too pricey for our meager souvenir budget...
After Harry Potter we needed to get some good Chicago eats, so we asked a guy walking down the street where to go. He suggested Gino's East, which was right down the street. World-famous for it's deep dish pizza.
Chris really liked it... It was about 9pm though, and we weren't really hungry that late into the evening, so we each had a slice and took the rest home with us! (I think a slice is worth about half of a normal pizza anyway...)
The decoration at Gino's East is graffiti-like, with people's names written all over the walls, covering almost every square inch. We left our mark, like good little tourists.
