On Friday we went to Garfield Park in the morning, which was a great escape from what was a very cold and rainy day. We enjoyed the variety of plants, all the greens and the very pleasant humid air.




Nice to represent Sydney University while out and about, Liam!

There’s an exhibit throughout that highlights different colors, and I think that’s what the temporary ceiling tiles are here.

Later on Friday, we went to visit family friends Bruce and Sandy in Evanston. Bruce is recovering from surgery and it was great to see them, glad we got a chance to visit.
On Saturday Grandpa treated us to breakfast at Flying Saucer. Excellent breakfast, thanks!

The Garfield Park Conservatory is like a small vacation in the tropics and the desert all in one. It’s always nice to go there when it’s cold and gray outside. And also there’s the Flying Saucer. We look forward to a nice warm breakfast there on our visits to Chicago.
