Chicago
Keith recently came back from a trip to Chicago, Illinois. This midwestern
metropolis is found along the shore of Lake Michigan. During his visit, Keith
spent a lot of time exploring the city to visit important landmarks and monuments.
Keith loves baseball, and he made sure to take a visit to Wrigley Field. Not only
did he take a tour of this spectacular stadium, but he also got to watch a Chicago
Cubs game. In the stadium, Keith and the other fans cheered for the Cubs. Keith
was happy that the Cubs won with a score of 5-4.

Chicago has many historic places to visit. Keith found the Chicago Water Tower
impressive as it is one of the few remaining landmarks to have survived the Great
Chicago Fire of 1871. Keith also took a walk-through Jackson Park, a great
outdoor space that hosted the World’s Fair of 1892. The park is great for a
leisurely stroll, and it still features some of the original architecture and replicas
of monuments that were featured in the World’s Fair.

During the last part of his visit, Keith managed to climb the stairs inside of the
Willis Tower, a 110-story skyscraper. Despite the challenge of climbing the many
flights of stairs, Keith felt that reaching the top was worth the effort. From the
rooftop, Keith received a gorgeous view of the city’s skyline with Lake Michigan
in the background.

The most expensive “taco”

The most expensive Taco in the world costs more than $25,000. You can buy it
at a resort in Mexico. Chefs have special beef from Japan flown in for this food.

They also use a special ingredient called caviar. Fish eggs are used to make
caviar. The fish eggs come from a special white fish.

The taco also has a unique cheese made with wild mushrooms and milk. This
very expensive taco even has gold in its salsa. The chefs also use the best
peppers, alcohol and coffee from Asia to make the salsa.

Chefs sprinkle more gold on the top. Then, they serve it to hungry guests. Diners
say this taco is delicious. Many, however, say it is not worth the price. They say
that there needs to be more than one taco to make them full. They are glad the
restaurant offers more choices.

The cost of the taco does not include a stay at the resort. Guests spending the
night must pay $990 to spend a night at the resort.
