Wow!Chicago was a blast. Here are some pictures from the Field Museum's Pacific Spirits Exhibit. Sorry about the poor quality of some of them. I totally recommend this place for a great introduction to Pacific art and culture. Made it to the Shangri La where I took several pictures with my phone and am still trying to figure out how to get them from the phone to my desk top. The food and decor were great and the waitress was a lot of fun. Told her we had driven up from Atlanta for a bite to eat and a few cool liquid libations. The Mai Tai's were pretty good, but the price has gone up a little. After eating we drove over to the Hala Kahiki for a few Volcano Bowls and pretzels. Great surroundings and the folks were quite friendly. We had a blast and can't wait to go back. I would recommend getting a driver if your staying in town at a hotel. It works out to be cheaper and more comfortable than a cab. Plus you can get a few more people in to defray more of the cost. Looking forward to a return trip.

Swamp Tiki recommends the windy city.
