First walk: The Hubbard Street Murals. Originally begun in 1971 by School of the Art Institute of Chicago graduate Ricardo Alonzo, this 11 block stretch of murals decorates the railroad embankment along Hubbard Street. Subjects of the murals are mostly animals and Mexican culture.
Next walk: Fulton Market District to Downtown. I love the Riverwalk along the Chicago River. So many things to notice: sunshine, clouds, reflections, architecture, bridges, wind, political statements, people.
We built up quite an appetite after walking most of the day. We're not the best at planning ahead for dinner reservations and we crossed our fingers that we could get into La Scarola. Success. Cin cin...alla vostra salute!
