Since Kelly didn't come this time, I rented a bike and biked around the city (which is an awesome city for cyclists). I was able to cover the distance of our death march from the first trip in like 20 minutes.
I went to the Lincoln Park zoo again. This puma was hunting a little kid, it was funny, the kid would walk back and forth and this thing would follow him licking his lips.
Penguins.
Ostriches continue to be the dumbest looking birds of them all.
I love the random street Chess vendors.
They gave me a Dodge Caliper to rent this time. At least thats a little better then the minivan I had on my last trip.
I was just saying the other week how I wouldn't see cicadas again until I was 41...and then it turns out the week I'm in Chicago was during THEIR 17 cycle of the cicadas. These bastards seemed even louder, and attacked a group of us when going to lunch.
I went to a Cubbies game in legendary Wrigley Field.
The coolest thing was how the row homes accross the street built their own stadium seating!!
The atmosphere was awesome, sold out on a Tuesday night, and mostly 20 somethings.
The Cubs lost though. It was the first time the Marriners (who I ironically saw on my last trip) visited Wrigley Field.
