Trip home from Hyde Park

I admit - I cheated.  I took the El train (Green line) down to Hyde Park (see post below).  Every time I've tried to ride down there the wind blowing to the north is really strong.  I hadn't been doing much long-distance biking for a while and didn't want to contend with a headwind.  So I got lazy, and carried my bicycle on the El.  (I love the fact that you can do that.)  But I did ride back.

And the wind - blowing to the south - was really strong.

Lakeshore Bike path

I turned east when I got to the Museum Campus - it's a peninsula on the south end of Grant Park that holds the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Adler Planetarium.

One Museum Park, Michigan Avenue, Chicago

On the other side of Lakeshore Drive is one of the seemingly millions of new skyscrapers popping up all over the South Loop.  This one is called "One Museum Place" and I really wouldn't mind living there. 

Maybe. 

I love the area, but it's so gorgeous and so world-class, it feels almost like being at a hotel full-time.  My current neighborhood feels more real. 

Look! It's a flock of tourists!
