Shedd Aquarium, Chicago

The time was 2:30 pm on Sunday, 8th. It was a cloudy freezing day for April in Chicago. The temperature dropped to a little below 0 celcius. As Chicago is known for "Windy City", the wind from Michigan lake, which is right in front of the Aquarium, added the chill to our already-chilled bones. Our ears and faces were numb. Yet my friend and I decided to stand and wait on the long line outside the Shedd Aquarium. I guess everybody thought it was Spring. Like other tourists, we were pretty excited to get in despite waiting in the frost-bite cold. It's supposed to be one of the best Aquariums in the country.

After 45 minutes and some jaw rattlings later, we finally were able to gaze at the fish, reptiles and mamals inside the Aquarium. It was worth the wait though we wish we had more time to spend there. But I will probably go back there if I have a chace to visit Chicago again...

School of fish. Can you spot Nemo?
