In the fourth day, we visited the South Side, with the mansions of Hyde Park and the University of Chicago. This day it snowed, so the walk was even prettier for us enjoying such a beautiful day. The temperatures fluctuated between 17F (-8C) and 3F (-16C).
Let´s start with some pictures from Kenwood and its mansions. A great neighbourhood to live in...

Lunch at Medici on the 57th. They told us this was the favourite restaurant of Obama in the South Side. We really don´t know... We enjoyed a delicious meal there.
We found at Powell´s, at the 57th street, this interesting book about Chicago. It was a real bargain, from $49,50 to $14,95. I recommend it to all people who love Chicago and its transformation during the last 20 years.
