We spent a fun few days in Chicago. What a fabulous city. The weather was absolutely perfect. And the people are all gracious, polite, helpful, and generous. We either walked or took public transportation everywhere. A breeze of a city to peruse. Our agenda:
1) 2 trips to the Art Institute. The new wing is open. I still like the Japanese collection.
2) The Symphony. Ricardo Muti is the new conductor. He chose Berlioz Symphony Fantastique
3) All the Frank Lloyd Wright designs we could find, both in Hyde Park and Oak Park. While in Hyde Park we saw what we could of President Obama's home.
4) Got "high up" everywhere. The Navy Pier Ferris Wheel, top of the Sear's Tower, top of the Hancock building
5) Ricky Gervais, funny man, show for HBO.
