edge of the continent

I joked with a friend recently that I went to Idaho for a week and promptly forgot how to use the internet. I came back, however, with fun pictures of my nieces in puppy costumes and of the Walla Walla onions in their family’s garden:

Hello, internets. It’s so nice to see you again.

Too sleep-deprived to commit to any particular activity on my last night in the city, I opted for fresh air and a walk.

The Chicago River, at Wabash and Wacker Drive.

Stairs leading to an L station, The Loop, downtown Chicago.

At the Marché aux Fleurs, Paris.
