annual summer Chicago trip!

a day late, but the perfect thing to do after a long day of lab and bbqing....


[watch out for the dangerous Lake! it's scary!]


[me in Lake Michigan]


[the beautiful view of the coast up Lake Michigan]


[the bean!]


[designed by a woman architect who was a bit annoyed at the phallic nature of most skyscrapers. use your imagination to figure out what this building is...]


[lunch at Puck's in the Museum of Contemporary Art]


[giant log mobile at the MCA]


[art]


[art. pig petit fours?]


[pigs! still art.]


[art in the everyday]


[a wall of plastic flowers painstakingly sewn together to form a long sheet]


[pyramid and glass art]


[friends!]

[Mahler concert at the Pritzker Pavillion]


[storm's a comin'!]


[at the races!]


[hot and happy]


[the horses! they're coming!]


[but one convertible ride later (my first ever!) ---and I had to leave. Next summer, Chicago]

That is a fantastic outdoor performance pavilion! And, yes, pigs can be art--my father would certainly defend that.
