After we watched the fountain we walked down to, then through, Millennium Park to get to the Art Institute of Chicago.

While there we stopped in to one of the museum's cafes, the Caffe Modern, for a much needed drink. I had a Goose Island orange cream soda - pretty good. The cafe looked out over the lobby in the modern wing, so we stood and watched the people for a while.
