Week 1 - Favorite Place(s)

I have a number of favorite places, but in the interest of keeping this blog relatively short, I have narrowed my favorites down to 2!!

I lived for 11 years in the greatest city in the US (ok, my opinion is probably biased), CHICAGO!!!!


The Chicago skyline can't be beat ...... Day or Night!!

On St. Patrick's Day, every year, the river is dyed green for a long (drinking) celebratory weekend!!

My other favorite place is the OCEAN!!!! On the beach and underwater.  It is the most relaxing place on Earth.  When you're on the beach and all you can hear is the crashing of the waves, it can lull you to sleep.

When you're scuba diving and the only thing you can hear is the exchange of air through your breathing regulator, it is just as calming.  It gives you plenty of time to relax and think without the interruption of surrounding noises.  You can just enjoy the scenery.

These are my favorite places!! The places where I feel most at home!!
