Tell me where you can stay right downtown Chicago for $100 and night, with a water view, sleep in your own bed. We are about 4 blocks from Michigan Avenue and the Loop. Boating life is great. By the the shiny thing in the picture above is called the bean and it is located in Millenium Park. The reflections come from all directions.
We went to see a contemporary art exhibit this morning. At first I didn't want to go but then I decided to expand my horizons and go. There was an Alexander exhibit - someone I had never heard of before. I was very impressed. His work was extremely interesting. We then went out to visit the early home of Frank Lloyd Wright - the place where he apparently did over 25% of his life work. The tour took us through his home and studio and described his philosophy of architecture. Amazing!
Came back to the boat after being away for close to seven hours. Had pre-dinner drinks where we met new fellow travelers from Two Turtles and then dinner with the folks that we have been traveling on and off with for the last couple of months. Lazy Dolphin leaves tomorrow. I think we are going to leave on Friday.
Cool...we missed the Wright home. David going to an art exhibit? Good for you! Was it at the Art Institute? Did you walk, take cabs or the loop? All are accessible and easy.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you are having such fine weather. Chicago truly is awe-inspiring.
What, you were in Chicago and didn't go to see Opra in her final season??
