Shedd Aquarium, Chicago
Spent longer in the aquarium than we planned; 6 hours altogether. Very, very good displays with crystal clear tanks and a fantastic variety of animals. Managed to time it so that we got to see the sea otters and dolphins being fed. Had lunch in café overlooking Lake Michigan with great views of the city.
Later, walked along the shoes of the lake next to Grant Park, through the wonderful Millennium gardens, including the Lurie wildflower garden. Visited the ‘Bean’. Then after drinks with some friends, had dinner at Volare, a classic Chicago Italian restaurant.
