Field Museum - Place #15 and Leona's - Restaurant #8; Beers #9 and 10


The last day of the visit brought a return to the Museum Campus in the form of an all day outing at the Field Museum of Natural History where we saw an excellent exhibit on evolution and the five great extinctions. We met up with Emma and who had just moved to Chicago from Ohio last week. It was great to see them and to share tips about life in the neighborhood. We ate at Leona's, a friendly restaurant in the neighborhood featuring a huge menu with several excellent beer choices. Susan B. tried a Dupage -- an amber beer with a pleasant smoky taste, while Kate had a pale ale with a bite which she liked very much.
Here's a picture of K and S out in the great weather that we enjoyed for the entire visit, until it was time for the Athens crew to return home on Sunday, at which point a cloudburst ensued. What a great visit! Hope that the SNMM show rolls back into town again soon!
