We had fun in Chicago, which was in the upper 70s when we arrived friday afternoon. Our Airbnb was just a few short blocks away from the lake, so we dropped off our bags and then spent some time at the shore. Lake Michigan looked suspiciously like the ocean. We had dinner at a Korean-fusion place called Del Seoul (the kimchi fried rice with spam was fantastic). After Lambchop, Karen and I took a short bus ride to visit Billy Sunday, a cocktail bar with a vast collection of vintage and contemporary amari. This was a beautiful place that surprised me with its lack of pretentiousness.
When we woke up saturday morning, it was pouring down rain and in the low 40s, but we nevertheless had a delightful and leisurely morning, eating a very pleasant brunch then walking around Lincoln Park Zoo and Lincoln Park Conservatory. (The rain kept the crowds away, and I’ll take rain over crowds any day.)
