tuesday

On Tuesday we went back downtown to The Museum of Contemporary Art. Some of the exhibits were just plain strange. This is a view of the main lobby

from here on the second floor where the only exhibit was this video of a rube goldberg type machine that lasted for a good twenty minutes.

This was made of silk flowers. There is a very similar one in the Burchfield Penney Art Museum that I blogged about in November.

A closer up view

This was made entirely of plastic pony beads and was supposed to be a swimming pool. One of the more appealing exhibits.

My yummy lunch...I chose two items from the small plates menu. Beet, orange, ricotta, arugula and hazelnut salad and a shrimp and white bean salad. I loved them both

as much as I loved this Sangria

from this restaurant, the Grand Lux Cafe above Ann Taylor on Michigan Ave

that featured all kinds of different light fixtures

and decorated walls and ceiling

then we walked to Navy Pier where the weather started to turn nasty and begin raining.

We were getting tired from days of walking and decided to take a cab back to the parking garage

and go to the airport early where we could relax, read, nap and listen to music.
