Warm weather beckons

It's fall season in the U.S., which means bye bye to warm weather and tan exposed skin, and hello to chilly, mostly overcast skies with showers and thunder storms. I am a girl who thinks summer is the sexiest season, and as chic as coats and boots look for the fall season, I still prefer airy, blousy clothes.

I religiously watch the weather updates so that I can anticipate when I can enjoy the sun even though autumn is clearly in the air. Last Tuesday, Oct 3, the weather was on the high 70s and the sun was out. It meant I had to be out to enjoy the sun as well. So I went downtown and walked around to enjoy the beautiful weather.

To further take advantage of the respite from the chill, I visited the city's famous
Millenium Park located at the west of Michigan Avenue, Chicago's version of New York's famous 5th avenue. The park used to be a railroad, and it became a dilemma to the council of the fast developing city what to make of the area so that it could fit to the new face of downtown Chicago.

They came up with the park.

Here are some pictures:
