chi-town trip

the mini-vacation was good. of course, we couldn't do everything that we wanted in two days, and because of some very bad directions ended up walking about 10 miles to a restaurant (after that, we didn't feel like walking anymore, so didn't get to go to the aquarium. so sad.), which is a very long and probably boring story, so i won't waste your time.

yes, the midwest has beaches! here are are looking at lake michigan, for as far as the eye can see.

this is why everyone loves rome...
