For once, the weather looks like it might actually cooperate. And that would be nice.
All systems are go for our little weekend jaunt to the second greatest city in the US tomorrow. And I have to admit—it'll be nice to get away for a few days, just to wander the streets of Chicago and soak up the ambiance of the place. Not only that, but while it's supposed to be in the 60s here (THE greatest city in the US), highs (at least as of now) are supposed to be in the lower to mid 80s (and mostly sunny) while we're down there, so for once, the weather is on our side during a vacation.
So thank you, Mother Nature. We really DO appreciate that.
I was thinking about that yesterday, as the rain rained down upon Marquette. It seems like almost every time we go somewhere it rains when it normally doesn't. I mean, think back to our trip to Germany in 2018 when it rained for six straight days, or our trip to Freiburg, Germany's sunniest city last year, when it was sunny & warm the day before we got there, then rained for the four days we were there, only to return to sunny & warm the day we left the city.
And here, you think Mother Nature doesn't have it in for us?

But like I said, it looks good for the next few days in Chicago, and at the moment, that's all that matters. While we're off enjoying views like this--
There won't be a new one of these. However, I'll see if I can whip something up for Monday morning. If not, I'll try to get to everything I can as soon as I can, just so you can see that for once (hopefully), Mother Nature took pity on us while we were traveling.
Wish us luck!
