West Egg Cafe
Our second day began by finding a local breakfast place, the West Egg Cafe. It was a great place that had eggs every way imaginable. The restaurant was busy, but service quick. It was a great sit down place to start our day and quite tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would love to go back.
The Field Musuem
After a good breakfast we ventured to the Field Museum. There we viewed the main exhibit; taking note of the numerous animals and even the famous Tsavo Lions (aka “The Ghost and the Darkness” lions). I forget how great a good museum can be. After seeing the permanent exhibits we saw the temporary exhibit on diamonds. Though no pictures were allowed, it was rather fascinating seeing the global market of diamond producing. We spent a good deal of time at the Field Museum, before moving on to other activities.

After spending the latter part of the afternoon loitering around Michigan Avenue, we took the recommendation of a good friend and went to Bandera restaurant. Bandera has a great atmosphere with an overlook of Michigan Avenue and live jazz. The menu is somewhat eclectic, but great food. The entire trip we had excellent places to eat and this was no exception.
Instead of paying for a coat check, Carol was nice enough to be our own coat check, or pack mule.

This is mine and Katy's interpretation of evolution. It is interesting that she is walking tall, and I the neanderthal.

Here is the live jazz trio that performed almost non-stop the entire time we were there.
This is the dessert we ordered at Bandera. It was as good as it looks.
