Day 356

We spent most of the day visiting Chicago.





This sculpture is Cloud Gate, nicknamed The Bean, located at Millennium Park.  It is made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams.  It measures 33 by 66 by 42 feet and weighs around 100 tons.  The design was inspired by liquid mercury and the surface reflects and distorts the city’s skyline. 



The arch is 12 feet tall and the underside is a concave chamber that warps and multiplies reflections.



We caught a train and visited the city around Wrigley Field.





On the way back, we stopped at the House of Blues, of course Moni had to have her picture taken with Jake and Elwood.
