Adventure was missing from my life. I’ve never been west of Illinois; that just sounds too sad and depressing. I may have never ventured west of Illinois, but I have traveled to Europe.
So my desire for adventure led me to California. Partly because it’s sunny and beachy, partly because Vera lives there and I hadn’t spent any quality time with her. Unfortunately the trip started off miserably. I was catching an evening flight from O’hare and it was delayed by 2 hours which might not seem like much, but I would now be arriving in San Francisco around 1 in the morning which is 3 in the morning Chicago time. Fortunately that is my only complaint.
California definitely charmed me. I am even dreaming of moving there. It’s warm, sunny, and laid back; all the things I desire. However, I need a plan first and Chicago is about to enter into it’s best season of the year so I can wait. If ever I have a wistful longing for California I can always look at these pics. Or visit Vera.
