I had a chance to visit the Chicago Botanic Garden over the 4th of July holiday. I had originally planned to visit last year, but I was unexpectedly forced to put it off after a health scare while passing through Union Station. After a year I was able to return and visit, and without a doubt, visiting has contributed to my healing. The Botanic Garden is spectacular. One could easily spend the entire day there as did my wife and I. The Elizabeth Hubert Malott Japanese Garden is one of the best in the country.
the Japanese garden is made of up three islands (see map):
It was a great day at the garden and at the end we were rewarded with a beautiful sunset over Horaijima (Island of Everlasting Happiness), an island inaccessible to mortals.
