Yesterday afternoon we walked through the famous cloud gate, which due to its shape is very suitably called a bean. The famous bean was completely crowded and we planned to come here again on Monday morning. Today, as soon as there was the daylight outside, we headed to the bean. At 7:30am there were only a couple of people there and we were able to enjoy the view and take pictures without distractions.
After breakfast we took Uber and picked up our rental car. Before we got out of Chicago, we were already in Indiana instead of Illinois. Since the Indiana National Dunes were on our way, we had planned to take a hike there. We had to pay $12 for that fun. But the lake and the dunes were worth it. The waves were as big as by the ocean, and at the beginning of October there were almost no other people. Swimming, by the way, was strictly forbidden. As the Coast Guard finishes its work after the Labor Day at the beginning of September, it is no longer allowed to put your feet in the water after that. We went to the bird watching tower and climbed up the nearest dune.
A quick late lunch in Michigan City, and around the sunset time we arrived in Jackson, where Scott's mom lives.
