Chicago 2

In Millennium Park the Pilgrim Pouch sees the city's skyline reflected in artist Anish Kapoor's sculpture known as "The Bean," originally titled Cloud Gate.

The Pouch is amazed at mosaics in Chicago's Cultural Center, built in 1897 & featuring Carrara marble. 

At the Art Institute bronze lions guard the museum's Michigan Avenue entrance. 

The world champion of handy travel bags, the Pilgrim Pouch, ends the trip to the Midwest. Now it's back home to San Diego for the next adventure...stay tuned!   

Chicago

During a visit to the Windy City the Pilgrim Pouch looks up at skyscrapers down by the Riverwalk.

Boats glide by on the Chicago River.

Chicago's renowned design center, the Merchandise Mart (on the left), was built in 1930 & spans 5 acres. This art deco building even has its own zip code (60654). 

Tourist Wendy is smiling because her Pouch is so handy for sightseeing. 

The Pouch caught a ride on a giant Dala horse stationed outside a store in Chicago's Andersonville district. Dala horses are symbols of Sweden and traditionally handcrafted out of wood. 

Later, it was time for a frozen custard at Lickety Split in the Edgewater neighborhood.
