From her majestic skylines and highlights of ultra-modern wonders, astonishing museums, countless memoirs of vibrant history, and of course, the beautiful backdrop of Lake Michigan, to the thrill of culinary discoveries with literally thousands of places to eat and new creations to try, Chicago has always been one of our go-to places to explore. A much needed escape from small-town life of rural Iowa.
When the crisp morning air begins to lazily gust on my cheeks, when I see the leaves start to dress in splendor of orange and fiery red, when delicate mists blanket the lush grass-filled meadows, when the tree-lined streets set ablaze with red flame and golden leaves, when the first dainty crystal frosts glisten in silvery sparks glued on twigs, and, in the fullness of time, when I hear the first crunch of the winter snow, then my concealed anticipation of thrill begins to grow. December is manifestly fast approaching!
The City of Chicago is more than just an urban jungle of towering skyscrapers and feats of engineering prodigies. Within this electrifying metropolis is a plethora of architecture, arts and historical anecdotes awaiting your discovery.
Born and raised in the tropical island nation of the Philippines, it is ambiguous to think that temperatures in the 40’s would even come close to being a ‘heat wave’. Over a decade living in mid western United States somehow molded my perspective, and such a day resounds an opportunity to roam. Truly, a great day to embark on a short culinary day trip.
