I got a late start to the day and went to explore the old town and Lincoln Park. I liked the feel of the neighborhood and when I hit the park I found myself wondering through the zoo enjoying the Christmas light show with all the local Chicago families.

From the park and zoo I wondered back to the hostel where I packed up my things and got ready for the early morning flight before making my way to the bar where I sat chatting to the locals and enjoyed some drinks before calling it a night.
