WINDY CHICAGO VIBES

Picture
spring summer 2018
I was in Chicago, the magnificent city up north two weeks ago.  They say it's more fun the second time around and yes, I found that to be true and believable.  On top of that, I was with friends that made the experience much more comfortable and enjoyable.   What was the weather you ask? Like NYC. It was breezy though warm and sunny-my post-lasik eyes couldn't handle it either.  I didn't take many photos so I hope you like these photos I had to serve (satisfactorily).  With all that said: click Read More link below to see more!

morning stroll
It's been two years since I last visited Chicago. It reminds me of New York City with ample space and nicer car drivers haha.  There's a lot of places that I'd love to visit in the midwest and I hope (someday) I will get to go to other places over there.  In the meantime, one of my resolutions is to get familiarized with photography. I need to start learning how to use a DSLR-not just by being in front of it. 

Top 5 Highlights:
1. Eataly
2.Breeze that helped relieve the warmth
3.Magnificent Mile stroll
4.Grant Park's vast greenery
5.Lou Malnati's

If you are looking for a DSLR, Canon T7i is good for travels. 🙂

-I agree Canon is the best. I have an old T3i but still works perfectly well. I need to resurrect my love affair with it

Wow Chicago looks fantastic. I was looking to go sometime last year but it never happened. When I finally go, I’ll definitely hit up some of those highlights!
