Sunday in Chicago


Our day started near noon today...brunch at Hub 51 with Mitch and Sander...great food and another chance to replay the events from last night's birthday celebration. We all agreed that it was a huge success...every detail well organized by Mitch!

After brunch we ventured into the heat and walked to the Chicago Cultural Centre, housed in an amazing building on Michigan Avenue. The current exhibition is a 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial...North America's largest international exhibition of contemporary architecture.







The bottom photo is actually a miniature...tiny tables and chairs!

While the exhibitions were very interesting...the building itself has several unique features.





These two domes are breathtaking!



Piranesi Circus in the (inaccessible) centre courtyard of the Cultural Centre.

Back in the outside heat we were in need of hydration and stumbled into a Mexican pub!





Our waiter was very sweet...only charging us for one Diet Coke instead of two!

After a much needed nap we returned to Sullivan's Bar 
for a glass of wine and appies before an evening stroll.
