M and The Bean*

Ok, it's late and I just realized I loaded these pics in reverse order. Oh well! A few weeks ago, (more like a month) M and I went downtown to see a Chinese dance performance that was a part of Chinese Cultural week. It took place in Grant Park* where the famous Bean* is. I know The Bean* has a real name that the artist gave it, but have no idea what it is. It got dubbed, The Bean* and has remained so ever since. This is the first time I was up close to it and it is pretty neat. The whole thing is like a big mirror and you can walk underneath it.

Here is M standing under it checking herself out. She is holding a Monkey King* mask she made at the cultural festivities.

Another performance. M liked the dances so much that we stayed to watch them twice.
