On the beach











After our Chinese food experience it was time for some exercise so we decided to go to for a walk on one of the 33 Chicago beaches. Despite the fact that it was not so sunny, it was still quite busy with volleyballer, swimmers, sun worshippers, skaters, bikers, old men playing chess and complete families picnicking. You look one way and you see nothing but the waters of Lake Michigan, you look the other way and there are Chicago's skyscrapers. It's really a funny idea that you are IN the city on the beach, one block away from the shopper's paradise on North Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent Mile and one block from the Lincoln Park Zoo (free entrance!).
