It's about ... time for a visit/ excursion along the southern portion of the Lake Front Trail... let's say from Soldier Field to Rainbow Beach. The weather looks to be fully cooperative.

We'll depart from the community parking lot in Hyde Park located at the SW corner of S. Stony Island and E. 60th Street. (The Obama Library is almost directly across the street from this lot. There is no fee to park here and it is occupied mostly by vehicles U of C folks, and Obama Library construction staff). We'll view the Statue of the Republic, The Japanese Garden (aka Garden of the Phoenix), Sky Landing (Yoko Ono), consider visiting Rainbow Beach, and then head north to Soldier Field and Museum campus. Lunch will be at the end of the ride at Valois Restaurant on E. 53rd street Hyde Park.
