It’s a very weird feeling opening up a newspaper and seeing yourself in it. And when it’s a newspaper in a city like Chicago it feels even more unbelievable. Today though, we experienced just that. Just yesterday we were interviewed by the Chicago Sun Times, and today when we picked up a copy we saw ourselves inside!

And after the very pleasant surprise we were off to explore the Lincoln Park Zoo, the last free zoo in the US. On the way there is a lagoon that was frozen over and a group of migrating geese were looking for food on the ice.

Not much food on the ice

From the outside the zoo looks a bit deserted as it’s winter and most of the outdoor cafe’s are closed, but once inside the selection of animals is really amazing.

But of course, after a day out we had to come back and get work done.
