Other thing I am now getting to do is check out all the restaurants. Chicago dining is really impressing me. Two trips ago went to a place called Le Lan which I highly recommend.

Last trip, also went bowling at Lucky Strike downtown - Lucky Strike is in other cities too, but the Chicago scene on a Thursday night was cool.
Just an FYI, the Lucky Strike in Elmhurst, IL partcipates in Idine. I've never been there, but I've always wondered if you'd get miles for the bowling in addition to the food & drinks.

As for The Mexican Fine Arts Museum, this reminds of a field trip I went on in high school. I went to Immaculate conception High School in Elmhurst. As the name implies, it's a Catholic High School. We took a field trip to the museum for Spanish class to see the Dia de Los Muertos exhibit. When we got done with the exhibit we came upon a table that was promoting the Safe Sex campaign. There were free condoms available and dental dams. I even recall one of my classmates asking what the dental dam was for and I remember the attendant strenching out the sample dental dam to explain it's purpose.. Most of you probably know that the Catholic Church is against all forms of birth control except the rhythem method. Obviously, parents and school administrators wouldn't have approved. I always thought it was funny that the table happened to be there the day our class visited.
