There will never be a time where I complain that it gets cold in Florida because, well, it doesn’t ever get that cold. I have friends and relatives that would get on a plane to come down here only to slap me if they knew I was complaining about the weather at all during the winter months. However, the slight chill in the air that we have had made me think of places we have visited that were a bit brisk for us warm weather dwellers. It did not take too long for Chicago to become the basis for today’s travel post. I certainly cannot cover our entire time there without writing a small book, so a little piece (as done previously) will have to do.
The Wife and I tend to cover a lot of ground on foot no matter where we travel and Chicago was no exception. Also, for whatever reasons, zoos tend to find a way into our plans (especially mine) wherever we choose to go. So when we were out exploring the streets on the north side of Chicago and happened by the Lincoln Park Zoo with its free admission, our schedule for the day became a bit more clear.
Breakfast awaits!
Initially though, we walked past the west entrances of the zoo to continue on our path to the Green City Market that was our intended destination for a bit to eat that morning. From there we walked down to the east entrance of the zoo with Lake Michigan in full view the entire time. I can let the pictures do the talking form here, but I highly recommend both stops if you are in Chicago and find markets and zoos as enjoyable as we do.
Good cheese.
Good bread.
Blueberry bread pudding it is!

He can certainly handle the weather.
Lost in a moment of deep thought.
Just slightly intimidating

Watch out for the spit as you leave!
