Warm sunshine, perfectly ripe fruit, fresh herbs, gorgeous flowers, farm fresh cheeses and meats, and… African Apes? Our Saturday at the Lincoln Park farmers market and zoo was simply lovely. The skies couldn’t have been bluer and the bountiful farmer stands were bursting with beautiful peaches and blackberries. Interns and CE staff tried thick organic smoothies and breakfast sandwiches made with ingredients grown and produced not too far from the city.
Following our tour of the Midwest’s finest farms, we were welcomed to the Lincoln Park Zoo by an impressive collection of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The primates, particularly the African Apes, stole the show, but it was exhilarating to see the jaguar at such a close distance. Thankfully no interns were made into lunch by any of the predators and everyone seemed to have an very enjoyable and relaxing day in Lincoln Park.
