Old Travel Pictures - Chicago

I'm having some computer issues and my laptop is now at the apple store getting a new battery. I had some drafts for a while in my blog that I completely forgot about. I'm using the blogger app from the iphone to publish this post. 

These pictures were taken on a trip to Chicago in 2007. We were on our way to the Adler Planetarium to see the City's skyline from there. At the time, I didn't care too much about sunsets. Now that I like to take sunset pictures I would love to go back to this place. That was the year that I traveled the most. I was in graduate school, working part time, and southwest had great fares that summer. I took advantage of the cheap air tickets and got away at least every 2 weeks for the weekend. I'm lucky to have friends that live in fun places so I didn't have to pay for a hotel. I miss those days so much.

Chicago is one of my favorite Cities in the US. I need to plan a visit soon. My last trip to this wonderful City was in 2008. Another visit is long overdue. I was lucky to get good night pictures that day. I never get good night shots. If anyone gets good night pics without a tripod please let me know how. I have many pictures of old trips. I might look for them and at the same time do a good computer back up.
