I really enjoyed Chicago last week. It was windy and still cold but the city offers an amazing collection of very nice buildings. The number of skyscrapers is probably second only to New York. Don’t forget to taste the “world famous” deep-dish pizza or Chicago-style pizza.

I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the old town. I was imagining a few houses spread out in a modern neighborhood. With my surprise, the old town looks like one of those little towns I used to see in the old western movies… with real antique guns and sheriff stars.

The 2011 travels season started with San Diego (California). Here are some of the pictures taken in Balboa Park.
