chi-town, day 4.5

Something really great about Chicago is that there are forest preserves all around.  It's a really wonderful idea for a city to have them.  The weather was perfect for a walk in the woods so Mark and I went to Busse Woods Forest Preserve.  We saw several elk at a safe distance and luckily we were separated by a fence.  It's such a peaceful place to walk or bike while being surrounded by beauty.

Where can you get the best cup of coffee in Chicago or anywhere for that matter?  Intelligentsia.  Take a look at this spectacularly crafted caffè latte. 

Good to the last drop!  Starbucks has nothing on this place.  Luckily we have a shop of our very own!  Unfortunately it's all the way in Pasadena. 

The beginnings of fall have taken hold in Chicago but we were able to find some last few traces of summer still lingering around.
