***CHICAGO*** Second visit to The Windy City. Third day‏

[Danny]

Third day in the Windy City. This day we visited Oak Street Beach, Lincoln Park, its Zoo and its Conservatory and, finally, the Historic District Triangle and Menomonee Street. What about the weather that day? 28ºF/16ºF (-2ºC/-9ºC), no problem.

I hope you enjoy.

Some views of Oak Street Beach. In this beach we swam five years ago, at the end of August 2010. It´s incredible to see the difference from that occasion to this one.

























Lakefront Trail

Lincoln Park





South Pond







Farm-in-the-Zoo by John Deere









Goats at the farm

Main Barn







This view was fascinating for us. Sorry for the repetitions.





Finally, Lincoln Park Zoo



































Time for visiting Lincoln Park Conservatory

















The views of Chigago´s skyline from the outside of the Conservatory are beautiful too.





And time for having luch at R.J. Grunts. We enjoyed with our meals and liked a lot this place. Highly recommended.









After lunch, in our route to Menomonee street, we saw some very cool houses.



















Old Town Triangle Historic District





























Frederick Wacker´s House.









A tiny and cool house. We loved it.



Olsen-Hansen row houses





Stay tuned for next tour.

Great Chicago threads you've got going. After looking at these I won't warm up for the next 6 months, even when it does warm up. The Oak Street Beach.... I'm used to driving by seeing it packed with sun bathers during baseball season. All the ice formations are pretty though. Great job.

Really enjoying your series of Chicago threads. I need to get down there again soon.
