Travels across the Pond: Chicago and Lollapalooza

So, this is the first in a few installments of my holiday snaps, they aren't particularly beautiful, professional or attractive due to the fact I was too busy having fun to hone my mad photography skillz!

These images are from the first few days of our holiday in the lovely city of Chicago, we stepped out of the train straight on to the set of Transformers 3 which was being filmed on the street, as you do, but we headed straight to the hotel, met our friends and relaxed with a cheeky rum and coke; something I would become known for over the duration of the trip...

For those of you who don't know about Lollapalooza, it is a huge music festival which takes place in downtown Chicago, right next to Lake Michigan, and boasts some of the biggest names in music for example the rather delightful Lady Gaga (who you can see above), Arcade Fire, Phoenix, Chromeo, The Kissaway Trail and a myriad of my other favourites.

We also had a day of sightseeing in Chicago where we went up the tallest building there; The Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower), went on a lovely boat trip, ate far too much yummy food, went to the Contemporary Art Museum, saw a lot of lovely things and, of course, had some rum and coke...

There will be more photos to come if you're interested, if not, come back in a couple of days and normal posting will continue!
