I used to watch The Simpsons and sometimes I wonder what I might look like in the Simpson’s world. Well I don’t have to wonder any longer!

Art Institute

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

Part 2 of my Summer Tourism Fun in my own town. We went to the Art Institute.

One thing I noticed is that many people didn’t know how to look at the art, they often walked up too close to the paintings. They also didn’t notice that I was standing there and they stood right in front of me never saw me there looking at the art. Many people would just walk around quickly glancing at things while their screaming kids were disturbing everyone around them! The good news is that most of them leave around 7 o’clock, so the last two hours we were there were really nice.

The people in this picture are standing really close. They never stood back to really look at it. They walked in the room, looked at it really close up and then went to the next room.

Here is Dorothee looking at some impressionist paintings.

Despite our troubles with the drooling masses, we had a great time. We may go back next week, but we won’t arrive until 7 p.m.

A couple of friends and I rode our bikes to the zoo.

We saw a Tiger, but it was sleeping.

The lions were moving around and roaring!

The Warthogs were beautiful in an ugly sort of way.
