~~A is for Architecture~~
When Chicago was all but destroyed by fire in 1871, there arose from the ashes one of the most famous skyscapes in the US if not the world. Chicago was home to the first ever skyscraper, a steel-framed ten story building, the Home Insurance Building built in 1885 and demolished in 1931 to make way for even taller cloud busters (as they were known way back when). Ten storeys, although no doubt impressive then, are mere small fry compared to today's skyscrapers - the Sears Tower standing at 108 storeys and The Trump Tower (currently under construction) is planned as 150 storeys high.
Travel up to the giddy heights of the Sears Tower ($12.95 Adults and $9.50 children) or the Hancock Observatory (15$ adults, 9$ children) to look down upon the city for a overarching and breathtaking view of the architectural ...

Advantages: Gets me from A to b efficiently Disadvantages: It's an airport!
Chicago airport.
On a recent visit to san Diego, we had to have a stop in Chicago airport for a couple of hours...most of my travelling seems to be spent in airports!

**The Terminals**
Of course when stuck in an airport these are the places you see most often.
There are 4 terminals and strangely enough these are Terminals 1, 2, 3 and Terminal 5 which is the International Terminal...whatever happened to number 4?
All of the terminals are ...

Where do I start to tell you about willow? There are literally hundreds of different species willows in the genus Salix. The willow/ Salix are a native tree of England and other countries too.
Some trees of the Salix species are miniature and grow only 6 feet 2 metres tall other species grow up to 60 foot/ 20 metres tall
A willow tree is probably one most people will recognise for the flower catkins commonly called pussy willow. Some of the willow species produce this flower it's a soft stroke able almost furry little catkin about 3 to 7 cm long. It's very sensual; if you have some near you I defy you not to stroke at least one catkin. If you look now you will find pussy willow catkins on willow trees. They bloom before the tree gets its first young fresh green leaves. A catkin is lots of little flowers all grown together ...
