Chicago Finale

We attempted to go to the Children's Museum but it was mobbed; we learned the Chicago schools were also on spring break. It was a nice walk there, but then we got in a cab and headed to the Museum of Science and Industry. That was mobbed too, so we headed to some books stores and had a bite to eat at cafe. When we went back to the Museum of Science and Industry later in the afternoon it wasn't as busy.

One night we ate at this restaurant, a German place. We didn't think it was great, my meal was especially bland.

The Chicago pigeons are smart, here they are gathered around this wonderfully warm fire.

You can't go to Chicago and leave without some Garrett Popcorn. But is it really popcorn? I think the popcorn is just the base layer on which to pack on the salt and sugar - that's why it's so good. So if you're in Chicago or New York - get some. Yes, I bought a lot, but I gave it all away.

  1. Sounds like you had a relaxing good time in Chicago. With regards to comment on German food. German food is meant to be bland. If you want non-bland food, go to Mexico where they mix chili powder with candy.
