John G. Shedd Aquarium

Three posts ago, I wrote that said I wanted to see the shitty parts of Chicago, not the parks, museums, and what not. Well, I took a random day off last week and, ironically, I found myself at the Shedd Aquarium with Cathy. The Shedd hasn't changed much since I've last been there. It was a good time, despite the incredibly boring dolphin show.


We got to the Shedd early, so we were able to walk right in. We started by checking out the many (relatively small) aquariums. Eels, crabs, turtles, coral, and of course fish, like this Seawolf for example. He looks like he wants to get out, or die... uh I can't tell


There was a big Blue Iguana catching some rays.


Yeah. I later learned there were dolphins in there somewhere (oceanarium).


It started getting crowded.


Looks crowded here too.


A ceiling window to part of an aquarium. Rad.


By the time we left, a long line had built up. Those people are crazy. To me, it was long enough to constitute "screw that I'm going home" long.

We later went to the Field Museum of Natural History. Oh the irony. I'll post the awesomely mediocre photos of that later.
