Chicago! Chicago! That Wonderful Town!

We spent 5 days with Road Scholar immersed in art at The Art Institute of Chicago.  Each day included a lecture or two from curators on a particular period or painting.  We stayed at the Palmer House, which is 2 blocks from Michigan Avenue. All meals were provided at the Palmer and were a gourmet's delight. The Palmer is a perfect location for walking to the AIC.  We would arrive at 10am, get early entrance and have access all to ourselves.  The lectures were all excellent, informative and educational.  In addition to the AIC, we had evenings to ourselves when we attended Hamilton and Second City.  One free afternoon we spent in Millennium Park and the other I took an architectural tour. Lots of artsy pictures at Flickr.
