I got to meet the lovely [livejournal.com profile] ithilwen and her parents. We had lunch at the Signature Room, on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building. Can you believe I've lived in Chicago 18 years and never been there? It's really the kind of place you go with out-of-town friends.

We saw peregrine falcons flying by!

Then we spent the afternoon at the Field Museum, which always makes time fly by like nothing else. Ancient Egypt. Mammoths and mastodons! Sue the T-Rex on 3D! Creepy old taxidermy! (That and the T-Rex film made me feel really carnivorous, I think. Must tear meat with teeth! Does passenger pigeon and California condor taste like chicken? Mmmm, bison.)

So when we went to Heartland Cafe for dinner, I had a bison burger. And there I got to meet the lovely [livejournal.com profile] deborah_judge, who is a brand-new Chicagoan.

Thank you, all of you, for the fantastic day!
