Wendella...

Last week, some friends and I went for a boat ride. The 60 minute tour travelled through the heart of the city on the Chicago River. It also included an in-depth narration of Chicago's architecture.. It was the very same place where some scenes from the Julia Robert's flick, "My Best Friend's Wedding" were shot. We all decided to meet at the Wrigley Building. The entire tour was worth it. The view was breathtaking. I enjoyed taking pictures. I just used my phone though coz I have yet to by a camera for myself.. The architectures are trully Chicago's pride... (",)

Buildings..

more buildings.. (",)

The Navy Pier... You can see the ferris wheel from afar...

The Sears Tower..

The building as backdrop is actually Chicago Sun Times


LuncH at JOHN HANCOCK's "THE SIGNATURE ROOM"

After the boat ride, we had to catch the lunch reservation at the John Hancock Center.

We were in a hurry to get to the 95th floor because our reservation was supposed to be at 1 pm, and they would give 30 minutes extension, otherwise, they'd cancel it. When we arrived at the building, it was 1:15 already. We took the very first elevator that opened up before us. We didn't know that the one we took would go directly to the 94th floor, that there was no way for it to go one floor up, and there's no way we could take the stairs as well. The employee that greeted us told us to go all the way down to the lobby and take another elevator that would go up to the 95th floor. We thanked her, and the elevator went down upto the basement. You could just imagine how our ears popped because of the pressure! Hahaha! When we reached the basement, we thought it would go one floor upto the lobby. We didn't know that we had to get off from there and just walk our way to the lobby. Yeah, Yeah,.. The elevator went express to the 94th floor again. Hahaha! The woman who greeted us earlier seemed surprise to see us again. Hahaha! She couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you the same guys who were just here a while ago?"

The good thing was, we weren't the only ones who actually experienced it. There were three American women who were also supposed to go to the 95th floor and have lunch at The Signature Room. One woman actually said, "That was so embarrasing yet hilarious!" Hahaha! Indeed it was...

The Restaurant Chicago Looks Up To...

Another good thing was, the food was superb! I had two servings of the potato leek soup. Yummy! I had the roast beef, parsley potatoes, scad fillet in puttanesca sauce and their salad. For dessert, we ordered the Lemon Custard Cake, and Chocolate mousse... (",)

The Signature Room offers a spectacular view of Chicago...
