Taking the train into Chicago is not quite as exciting as riding the Chepe up to the Copper Canyon, but when you are eleven and have only had one other train ride in your life, it is still quite an event. It was a rainy morning but our destination was the Field Museum so there was no need to worry about the puddles. We spent several hours in the exhibits dealing with native Americans from South America to Alaska. We saw an Inuit man carving a new totem pole to replace one that the Field will send back to Alaska, visited the Egyptian tomb exhibits, and of course saw the big dinosaur skeleton called Sue. Grandma, Grandpa, and TJ had a great time.
