Today was a great combination of biking and art. We parked half way between the b and b and the city. There was still free parking, and we were near one of the city bike program stops. We brought Ellie's bike and rented 3 more: $9.95 for 24 hours as long as each ride is less than 30 min. There was, of course, a learning curve which led to some frustrations, but overall it worked well. We biked to the Art Institute. Ellie got a free app that let her play History Heroes to save artwork from the evil Erasers. That kept her interested for most of the 5 hours we were in the museum. We also invented a game where we split up and tried to find each other by texting picture or picture titles to each other. It was refreshing to see art and fun to play the games. For lunch we tried Chicago dogs which were yummy. After the museum we got on bikes and explored Navy Pier which was too crowded with tourists for me, so we left and biked to Lincoln Park. We biked back along the river, having finally found out how to get to the lakefront path. We then biked to Chinatown and and ate at the Three Crowns restaurant and had the best dim sum. Then home. Art, biking and food. How can we top that?
