Yesterday was a beautiful day in Chicago. It doesn’t get much better than 82⁰ and sunny (with low humidity). We had to stop at some of our favorite places to bring treats home.
We had a “hot-bag” and a cooler to keep everything at the optimal temperature.
STOP #1 – Chinatown
STOP #2 – Featured on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives
STOP #3 “Maxwell Street”
STOP #4 – Family Heritage
STOP #5 “Just Looking (Yeah Right)”
WELL…
We had some other sightseeing planned but due to construction…everywhere and things being roped off for an upcoming event we had to change things up a bit.
We live close enough to the city that its no big deal to alter our plans and do something else.

What an adventure! I have a friend from Michigan has driven through Chicago on the way home for 25 years. He claims Chicagoland is always under construction. 👷♀️

Looks like a fun day. I am just curious – what in the world is potato lefse flat bread?

Lefse is similar to a tortilla and is usually eaten with butter, cinnamon & sugar or lingonberry jam. My husband and his Scandinavian relatives go crazy for the stuff

I enjoyed your pictures so much, felt like I was having the adventure with you! And I didn’t realize you live in Chicago. My parents and siblings lived there/northwest Indiana for about fifteen years, just recently moved away. I have lots of wonderful memories visiting them there! Actually, when my parents had just moved to Dyer, I stayed with them for a few months when my son was born, to give birth in the U.S., before returning to Peru. So he was born in Munster 🙂

My sister and brother both lived in Chicago itself. From my parents’ house it was about an hour away.

I have never been strong on directions, but I think they both lived close to Lake Michigan.
