Chicago: The sights [which is mostly of animals]

Last weekend we went to Chicago. 

 We saw some pretty cool stuff.  

Here are some favorites.  

[From my iphone]

Tall Buildings.

Shedd Aquarium:

I have a thing for animals that dress up in their nicest outfits.  Especially tuxedo animals.

This fish tried to eat me.  He was also much bigger than he looks here.

Lincoln Park Zoo:

Usually I hate chimpanzees.  They scare me.  But this little lady and I had a long conversation about life.  And the freckles on her chin.  I lied and told her she was lovely.  I don't even feel bad about it.

We revisited the cat house at the Lincoln Park Zoo several times to get to see the tiger.  Please note the pink flowery jacket in the window.  Someday that will be my kid's jacket reflected in the window.

Is this a leopard or a jaguar?  I've already forgotten.

I love giraffes.  And I'm jealous of their eyelashes.  Right?

Orchids are amazing.  I have one named Hyacinth.  The Conservatory in Lincoln Park had a whole room of orchids.  Beautiful!

 

This is a juxtaposition.  It was about 85 degrees in the room with azaleas   And I had a hat and scarf on.  But look at that riot of pink!

Transit:

And the traffic.  If ever I was to move to Chicago, I wouldn't own a vehicle.  Too much of a time suck.
