This stunning Tiffany lamp was one of many wonders of our afternoon here. We mainly stayed in the impressionist painting galleries (Van Gogh and Monet!) today but we will be back.

Stained Glass in Chicago
Navy Pier is quite a place offering a Children's Museum, ferris wheel, Shakespeare theater, boat tours of the Chicago River, a carousel, food choices, and much more. One free exhibit we thoroughly enjoyed was the stained glass. This is a collection of windows from homes, churches and other buildings in Chicago. During the late 1800's and early 1900's there were over 200 stained glass manufacturers in Chicago. Tiffany's explorations with glass production inspired more talent. There are still many buildings with amazing glass but this exhibit explained techniques along with highlighting different artists and styles. Tiffany's dome in the public library is amazing...our picture hardly represents its majesty.
Saw THE BEAN Today
This is an amazing sculpture in Chicago which reflects all around it. People watching is fun, too, as everyone (including us) experiments with different ways of touching and posing for pictures.

Wild ride on Chicago River!
Just finished a slow, informative boat tour on the Chicago River with fun tourguide Jake. Tour ended with a jaunt in the speedboat at a very fast pace into the freezing wind on Lake Michigan...we laughed really hard. :o. Lynnae
