AQUARIUM & Chicago

Above: Wrigley Field
Our last full day in Chicago and the delegation had a few hours free. The Aquarium had a community day..meaning free admittance. So I suggested we take advantage of that, as many of our delegates have never been to one, and off we go. To save money we walk..but it was quite cold and a fog was over the city.
On our way, we passed these iron sculptures.

After, the aquarium, some went off to Little Italy to eat, the rest headed off for the Navy Pier. I forgot the money in the hotel, so while I ran off to the hotel to get my wallet, the rest took buses to the pier. I decided to take a taxi from the hotel to the pier, only $6 while the delegates paid $2.25 each for 2 buses and half an hour of riding! Would have been cheaper to take a taxi! Next time! We had to rush and eat, but had a few minutes to do a little souviner shopping and back to the business of diplomacy.
