We've had another day in Chicago, this time en famille, and with bright sunny weather, instead of the cloud and spitting rain of yesterday.
All eight of us took the train from Olympian Fields to Randolph and ambled through the Millennium Park, where we were entranced with "The Bean"
(http://www.millenniumpark.org/artandarchitecture/cloud_gate.html) .
Properly known as "Cloud Gate", it is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public work of art in the USA. Do follow the link to get an idea. It is hugely popular with the public who engage with it and interact with it joyously.
We strolled along beside Lake Michigan admiring the sailing boats, and then took a footpath along the side of the River Chicago eventually returning to Michigan Avenue and our train back to Flossmoor. We are having a nice evening in together.
