Roses Are Red

The Road South

Here's to dreaming of road trips past and future:

A More "European" Chicago

I came across the Instituto Cervantes again, and decided this time to go ahead and see what was inside. They have Spanish classes, and apparently once a week they hold a book club which apparently meets every 6 to 7 days, and I am seriously considering joining!

The Find--LaSalle Street

Took another route to the train station today. Chicago was relatively foggy all day, and it started clearing up around the time I was getting ready to leave. I wish I could have taken a picture with my phone, but I admit I was a bit embarrassed about taking a picture in front of the other people.

Still, on my way back I stopped by this coffee shopped called appropriately: Coffee Shoppe. I took, quite quickly and embarrassedly, some pictures of the interior. But unfortunately they turned out a bit blurry. I also realized, after having eaten my muffin and drank my espresso, that I hadn't taken a proper picture. Which means I'll have to stop by again soon and take some proper pictures!

The Road Less Travelled

Or at least for you, anyway.

Today, after work, I took a different route to the train station. My summer internship is by the Navy Pier, and I always choose to walk to Ogilvie for the sake of exercise and because it truly is an enjoyable time. Well, today I chose to go down Dearborn from the the Water Tower, and it was such a good choice! There were several new stores I'd never seen and since I took it at a comfortable pace, I got to take in all the different sites.

A Day in Navy Pier

It's been really hectic around here, and my house has been busier than ever! Which, for this case, is a good thing. However, I didn't have time to share some pictures I took after work, when I walked over to the Navy Pier. The morning (Wednesday) had been really crappy with thunderstorms and some rain, but it eventually cleared up and it was a wonderful day to be outside and enjoy the nice weather. Enjoy the shots I took!
