Chicago

Wake up and work at a nearby cafe with amazing yoghurt parfait, strong coffee.

Meet Alison for lunch, bloody mary's and fresh produce, hummus, and pitas. Yum.

Catch the red line downtown. Wander through the crowds and nerd out on art at museums.

Take in the old growth of the urban jungle recast as the original. Sentinel outside the CIA.

Walk down to the waterfront. Sailboats rock gently off the shores of Lake Michigan.

Lay in the grass under the shade of the trees with the geese padding by ignoring me.

Heart of the big city. Good cloud watching and people watching both.
