Saturday

We slept in all morning and had brunch at Yolk. We nommed on banana nut bread french toast and a pot roast sandwhich. Their fresh squeezed OJ was very nice too.

Then we walked to the Museum of Contemporary Art. It is a well kept museum with exhibits has to describe together. There were photos, videos, paintings, and a lot of other medias. One display had photos of chair bottoms and then a womans butt who had sat on the chair long enough for indentations to appear. Wierd, clever, and beautiful were common words we used.

Then we browsed The North Face where Beth grabbed a fleece jacket. We made a circle in the Apple Store and Niketown before retreating to the hotel.

We left it around 5:30 for dinner at Coalfire, a small pizzaria with a coal-fired oven. We ordered white and prosciutto pies. The very thin crust was chewy in the middle and cracker-like on the outside. We didn’t care for the burnt edges which left a pile of crust afterwards. I would go back to give them another chance. The white was bland and the other had too much meat. But their tomato sauce was delicous.

We caught a train to the loop for an 8 o’clock play, August: Osage County. We didn’t arrive too soon or late. Our seats were at the very top, where the important people sit. The viewing angle up there was much better than TPAC’s. The show was long and had a dialog I didn’t expect. It was a modern story, with a realistic storyline but over-the-top when all of the conflict was known. The actors were terrific. I would have rather seen Wicked again but I lied branching out.

Today we are heading out to the aquarium and Cloud Gate. I am not sure what else we will do before our flight.
