Holiday Shopping

So I had the weekend off and decided to do a little holiday shopping. I decide the mile would be the best place to do this considering the variety of stores. I started at some of the boutiques north but they didn't have what I was looking for. Let me tell you.. Michigan Avenue, on a Saturday, a week before Thanksgiving, IS A NIGHTMARE! I couldn't even get around. I literally ran into people. It was like we were at a concert and everyone was trying to get to the front of the stage. Shoving and pushing, babies crying, annoying bells ringing. I think the most annoying thing about tourists is they walk so slow. Everything is "remarkable" and they take pictures of EVERYTHING. We will be walking.. walking.. walking.. run into the back of someones jacket because they stopped IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK on a busy day to take a picture of a building. Besides their speed, they are also very ignorant. They have their large maps out (some holding them backwards) and looking at it "well Chicago ends at the Drake so we have no where else to go". Um, excuse me... no. Tourist Chicago ends at the Drake, real Chicago is much bigger. Its hilarious.
