I've been enjoying my summer vacation in Chicago so far despite the weather. On Friday afternoon there was a huge storm that rolled in right after lunch. It was waaay crazy with a bit of hail and plenty of lightning and thunder. Coming from California where we might get lightning and thunder every few years, this was a bit scary. We heard later that some windows from high rises blew out, we saw a huge tree that fell on a car, and boyfriend's family lost power... and I don't think they got it back until today. But other than that the weekend was fairly lovely... and hot and humid. So boyfriend and I decided to do a bike tour of Chicago. We figured it might be fun to do a bit of evening sightseeing and get some leisurely exercise too (8 miles in 3 hours with plenty of stops).
Boyfriend and me at North Beach (stop 2 on the bike ride)
Riding through Gold Coast, this is the Charnley-Persky house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright
Then we biked through the streets and ended up down by the river
The view from Museum Park... so pretty!
And just so you know, I really did ride a bike. This is Peter. We had a good time.
