Last week we went down to the Adler Planetarium. We saw the amazing view of the lake and city, a movie about how to tell where the edge of the solar system is, and a really great exhibit of astrolabes and other navigational devices that would make an excellent companion to a Rand McNally road atlas!

Another live image of the sun, very patriotic view! I didn't know the flag would be in the picture because I didn't look at the sun to take it, I just held up my camera.

In the exhibit of navigational tools, this room is set up like a monk's study room. We put on the cloaks and sat down to be medieval scholars.
Very into the role!
Liam the Peruvian villager and Miles as the Egyptian king.
That looked like a lot of fun! I like that you were wearing cloaks, and it looked like a beautiful day in Chicago 🙂
The idea of Miles being an Egyptian king seems strangely fitting! I liked the monks cloaks too – had a feel of Harry Potter about it!
