Well, we missed breakfast after a wonderfully long sleep. It felt like the temperature had already reached the predicted high of 94 degrees when we left the hotel at 9:30 am in search of coffee and a bagel. My apologies if the photos and text don't look right to my viewers. It's this damned iPad again!!
The Art Institute welcomed us with air conditioned galleries full of valuable artwork. We wandered past pieces by Edward Hopper, Grant Wood, sculptures by Rodin and Picasso, stained glass by Chagall and paintings by all of the Impressionists.
The Museum Cafe offered a wide selection of foods for our lunch before we headed back outside for a HOT walk back to the hotel around 2:00pm.
The downtown core is easy to navigate and the tall buildings provide shade and a corridor for the breezes to whip through...very appreciated! Enroute we passed a four sided piece by Chagall in tiny tiles and stopped for a rest beside a full sized sculpture by Picasso...the same as the miniature one in the Art Institute.
It is time for a rest. Tonight promises more adventures with Mitch!
