Moving to a new city is so amazing because you're always uncovering new treasures. Today I went on a bike ride with no real specific destination in mind and found another really awesome area of town. I went along the lakefront path at first which was complete madness because it's the air and water show this weekend. There were a MILLION boats on the lake and tons of people swarming the path. It was madness. I wanted to go bike along the adorable park by Navy Pier that I found a few weeks ago but it was closed--I guess because of close proximity to the air show. I went back a slightly different way. I decided to ride into Old Town and ended up going to my new school, Walter Payton College Prep, before turning around. I biked along the roads for a while on the way back and stopped in the nature area in Lincoln Park and watched the ducks for a while before heading back. I live in a pretty cool place. I love how much there still is to discover.
Now, I gotta give some quick love to KC. Now I may dog it sometimes, but it's only because I grew up there and all I wanted from age 17 on was to get out and explore something new. But it really is a great place. If it had my mountains, I would live there in a heartbeat. It has my family and some of my best friends. It has the beautiful plaza, the Royals, the gardens, and so much more. And just great people. So please don't think I hate it there. Totally don't. I just needed to move on and see what else there is to see out there.
