Chicago and Route 66

After leaving Ontario, we went to Chicago to pick up the start of Route 66. The highlight of Chicago was the Art Institute. And the highlight of the Art Institute, for me, was the superb mediaeval exhibit, especially the best collection of arms and armour I've ever seen.

This large suit of armor spoke to me in a strange and profound way. Standing in front of it, it felt like it was exactly my size; like I should just step into it and walk out to the battlefield.
