After a lovely stay it was time for the visitors to leave. We hired a big red van to hold all seven of us and that worked great! On the 23rd April we drove up to Chicago after we had finished school. Stopped the night in Napierville and the next day went to the Field Museum. The exhibitions were fantastic, we all loved the Evolving Planet and the Ancient Americas permanent exhibits. As well there was a temporary exhibit, Mammoths and Mastodons: the Titans of the Ice Age which Mitch, Donnie & I saw. It included a 42,000 year-old intact baby mammoth. Very cool. After the museum we went to visit Little India up around Devon St and went to Hema's Kitchen, run by the woman who catered Aaron & Priya's wedding. The next day we had Chicago style hot dogs for lunch folloewd by Coldstone Creamery. Before we left we were able to catch up with an old uni friend, Simon Stephenson, who has been living in Chicago a while. All in all a wonderful stay and visit. Can't wait for the next visitors!
