Perhaps I am a city-girl at heart. I think I could definitely like living in Chicago (except in the winter, of course).
Perhaps, though, I have just never found the place where I am most content, because I often feel I could/would like to live/move to places I visit. Then, again, maybe that just shows I am extremely adaptable and easy to please. Nah. Not likely! LOL
So, what did I love about Chicago? Most everything (especially since I also heard that all public smoking will soon be banned)... the food, the buildings, the "cosmopolitan" appearance of everyone and everything. I realize we were in a better part of town, that there are other spots which are nicer, and others which are not so nice. I loved not having to drive. And, the people, with rare exception, were quite congenial and helpful.
Of course, I am not thrilled to have had to come back to work today! Vacations, especially ones where one gets to travel to a new place are such fun. Unfortunately, they don't last forever for but few of us. I am thrilled that, although I am behind on my reading, I only missed one assignment for my classes. Oh, how hard it is going to be to read instead of stitch this week! Seems like it is time for some serious time management.
It is also time to get back to eating right. Yes, I gained a couple of pounds while I was gone, on top of the couple I had let creep up over the last couple months. I do not want to go back to the doctor weighing more than I did at my previous visit. Fortunately, I will be walking more on campus now that I go to class three days a week, and as the weather cools, I will take walking breaks (and lunches on non-class days). The trick for me is too eat properly at home for supper. And MORE stairs!

It was a nice place to visit! I like being able to use public transportation too. :-) But I grew up in a major metropolitan area, so I prefer the slower pace of things here in Walmart-land...although you know I ignore Walmart as much as possible.
