About a month ago i flew to Chicago, to meet up with my parents and sisters. They had flown all the way from Denmark, to come visit me for two weeks. It was wonderful to see them again, after having spend 7 months apart. We spent 4 days together in Chicago, which was very interesting to all of us (we don't have skyscrapers in Denmark, and really almost none in all of Europe).
We spent a day at the Chicago Art Institute, the impressionistic collection alone occupied a hole day. It was time extremely well spent, and I got to see some of my favorite pieces of all times. The three other days were spent exploring Chicago, with such tourist activities as the Hancock tower and an architectural bus-tour around the city. Plus of course shopping, and a great deal of time spend in the airport (which I personally came to know quite well, trying to get from one end of the airport to the international terminal, proved to be no easy task). Seeing a city of such proportion, was kind of mind-blowing to us, and I don't think we really understood how big a city it was before we arrived. Chicago has almost 3 million people living in the city alone, and 9.5 million with its suburbs...Denmark (yes, the hole country) has 5.4 million people all in all.
After 4 days in Chicago we flew to Denver. We spent a day there seeing the dinosaurs at the natural history museum. The next day we drove up to Steamboat, in our huge "american style" rental car. We spent 9 wonderful days together in Steamboat, before it was time for my parents and my two younger sisters to head back North. It was great to see them again, cause even though I am having a really good time here in Steamboat, I can not help but miss them now and then. Everyone here was so nice to them, and they truly did enjoy their stay.
Thank you to everyone here who helped out with their stay, and a special thank you to Rex and Bettina Brice.
thats all for now. Cornelia.
