We still don’t see anyone from our tour group around the Bean. It’s strange that they all ran off so quickly. I don’t mind though. It’s nice that Kathy and I are on our own again.

Kathy looks a bit surprised by her burger but she’s more than willing to give it a try. She’s always been more adventurous in dining than I am. I’m getting better though.

This looks like a lettuce sandwich but under all that greenery are two pork patties. It looks interesting but I’ll be happy to stick with my regular McDouble burger.
