Chicago, Chicago! What a wonderful city. We know it’s called the Windy City, but from here in this lovely hotel it seems blissful. Such a gorgeous view. We can see for miles and miles. All those striking skyscrapers. What a joy!
So we crane our heads at those views to see the river. The river? No, we mean that huge lake. Ah yes, Lake Michigan. That’s the one.
Okay, so what are we going to do now?
Well, we’ve dropped our stuff in this very nice room.
I’m saying, food.
We could go to get a couple of Chicago-style hot dogs… Downtown Dogs?
Or let’s push our boats out, what about ‘Girl and The Goat’. It’s a very good restaurant, apparently.
Now you’re talking!
so let’s leave them there
since we know some good new facts
anyone else to go?

This image shows the view from inside a hotel room out of the window. High rise buildings present a calm scene. According to the photographer it is; Nobu hotel-Chicago; the city never asks to be let in. The bed is made and the room seems unoccupied.

It would be wonderful to go together, wouldn’t it? I mean, it’s only across half of the world for each of us! Okay, see you soon, Punam. 🌍🌏🌎

Chris, I just learned that Chicago is called the Windy City not just because of the weather, but because people used to say the politicians talked a lot. I’ve been there a few times, and it’s a really fun city. I hope you have a great time there!

Now another fact then! Thanks for telling me about those politicians over there, David. But whether I will go over anywhere in the US is rather unlikely for me. As you know, I often make things up, and that’s fine.

Having lived just one block north of Chicago (in Evanston) for a year and often going into “The Windy City,” I thoroughly enjoyed this, Chris.

Oh, how excellent, Dave. Such an interesting place I’m sure. The closest I got there was reading several novels… especially from V.I. Warshawski!

Chicago, wow! Let’s explore that historic city, but we should stay clear of Al Capone! (or maybe just call in Eliot Ness?) 😉☺️
