Thursday in Chicago is Friday in Brazil! Because is my last weekday. Afternoon, after the lunch we went to the Chicago Arts Museum, with Cathy. The very beautiful building, designed by the Italan architect Renzo Piano, is very nice for to see expositions. many natural lights in the circulations and very well control in the expositions rooms. The Magrit's exposition was organized like the concept "box in box": One museum inside other. But for me, the best always is the Modern Art, and The Chicago Arts Museum have a big Collection: Mondrian, Picasso, Malevitch, Theo Van does Bourg and same Joaquin Torres Garcia, the Uruguayan author of the phrase: "Nuestro Norte es el Sur" (Our North is the South). After the class me and my classmates went to Green Mills. The Green Mills was one indication from my friend that lives in Chicago. Is a Cocktail Lounge where Al Capone and his friends attending. The bar have same today, tunnels for to get way. Can be useful yet...
The jazz was amazing and many couples danced frantically.
Friday I went with Ana Paula for the University of Chicago and Illinois Institute of Technology for show her the buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rhoe and Rem Koolhas. We visited the Robie House, the avant-garde house builds in the campus by Wright and, the Crown Hall, the misean building, today the School of Architecture, and McCormick Center by Koolhas in IIT.
Saturday me and Danielle went to the beach. This was the really first day on vacations since I arrive here. I slept on the sand for some hours! The Michigan Lake is cool! The water is green, transparent, and have the waves like the sea! Is strange because the water is sweet.... And is very funny bathing in front the Hangkok Center!
