Today we brought my brother’s girlie from New Mexico in to Chicago to see the Art Institute [my favorite place, btw]. When we got into the city she was stunned and said “I’ve never seen buildings so big!”
See, to me it’s just kind of whatever, but it’s really cool to visit someplace normal to you and see it through someone else’s eyes.
