Wow. Building a city next to Lake Michigan. A beautiful view but hell on your hair. Nonetheless we are having a great time celebrating our anniversary.
Driving and parking in Chicago is rough. So taxis are the main mode of transportation in this city. But we have had several brushes with death during our taxi rides. I'm convinced the taxi drivers are not satisfied until customers are pasty white, sweating profusely and calling loved ones for their final goodbyes. Arriving at our destination, we are in shock over the fares but feel lucky enough to be able step out onto the curb. And so we shell out fifty dollars for the five mile ride without a blink. Okay, the fare is not that much.
We are leaving today, after one final destination to the Shedd Aquarium. We will be pulling our car out of garage storage and driving there ourselves.
I suppose this means we will enjoy our time, instead of recovering from a harrowing Chicago taxi ride.
Good times. This IS a beautiful city. We shall return.
And walk a lot more.
