Chicago

This PM we saw Millennium and Grant Parks in Chicago. Does anyone else remember 1968, Abe Ribicoff and Mayor Daley and the Democratic Convention? Well, now they are beautiful parks, not riot central. We visited the Chicago Art Institute, a museum that certainly is world-class (think, Philly, NYC, the Smithsonian, Louvre, and Hermitage - especially for Impressionist works). One thing I found out -I'm not contemporary - more Grant Wood. It is quite difficult maintaining a straight face while two young women are laughing hysterically at our attempt to mimic American Gothic. Here are some pics from the day.
