After missing our train (don't ask) and stumbling through Chicago traffic, we finally arrive at Adler Planetarium on the lakefront. The vista from here into the city is beautiful, as today's rainclouds have blanketed the city and hide its tallest towers with cloaks of mist. Nate says this is supposed to be the oldest planetarium in the U.S., or at least Chicago. It certainly looks it!(3:50PM) Well, that was the most expensive movie we've ever seen, journey through a black hole notwithstanding (actually I think Disney made a movie of that already). Not many of the other exhibits were of interest to post-adolescent soccer fans, but we did our best to enjoy ourselves. Driving on our way out, we encountered an army of Segway tourists which, frankly, was the coolest thing we'd seen yet! We're driving back up Lake Shore Drive now to park at the Navy Pier and walk to the spot where our 2-hour Untouchables tour starts.
