another little picture post.
I didn't find out the weather was so beautiful yesterday until I stepped outside on the way to the library. It was surprisingly warm again and I was wearing way too many clothes. Then again, I thought the library would probably be air-conditioned. Because I actually went to the library, shortly. It was pretty much deserted as it has been the only other time I had been there. Interestingly, their first floor is open 24/7 for your studying needs - and so far hardly anyone is in that huge, endless library even during the day. So I decided I wouldn't be in there either, took my stuff and left, riding my beach cruiser bike east
and further east
still going
east on 55th (can you feel the tension rising?)
crossed the metra tracks (almost there!), look to the sidewalk on the right to get an indication of the temperature yesterday
and boom!
The lake.
With a mild breeze and plenty of sunshine.
I sat down at the tip of the headland up there and got my book out. Took me about 20 seconds to get distracted not by these guys
and not the view
but those three people in the middle, walking away.
The two people on the right are married and from Finland, with him doing an internship with a law firm and her doing research in pharmacoeconomics here. The girl on the left is actually from Germany and also doing an internship in the law firm. They were here to kill time waiting for their tickets to Body Worlds that they had bought at 10am to become valid at 6:15pm. Apparently they sold tickets for the same day at that place that would make people wait more than eight hours to get in. Well, as you probably know any excuse is good enough for me when it comes to not having to study, so I talked to them.
