My friend, Margaret, and her husband have lived in Chicago for all of their lives. I met them when I worked and we still keep-in-touch. Several years ago, when I visited Chicago, we got together and played tourist.
Last year, when I visited, we toured the Field Museum. It is VERY LARGE! We stayed the whole day and saw as much as we could. When she learned that I was returning, she asked what I would like to tour. I responded that I would like to see the second floor of the museum because we didn't have enough energy and time to see it previously. I took a lot of pictures and enjoyed it all. I have posted a representative sample of what I saw. If you ever get a chance to go to the Field Museum, leave a lot of time to see it.
The first picture is the outside facade of the museum. Then the interior entrance. It is 'grand'.

I was impressed by everything that I saw. The first displays were of crystals and rocks. There was a picture of the Arizona meteor crater that my friend and her husband had visited. I saw a real-gold buddah, diamonds, jade, jewelry, and many displays. The next many pictures show what is impossible for me to describe. (That's the reason that I like pictures so much.)

Before and after visiting the museum, Bob showed me some of the beauty of Chicago. I included a picture of some modern-art that is placed in a park near Lake Michigan. Of course, we ate at the end of the day and the restaurant food was outstanding.
