when in rome…

Eat carciofi alla giudea.

When in Chicago, eat a cinnamon roll. From Ann Sather.

I don’t normally eat cinnamon rolls, as they tend to frighten me. But the charming story of the Swedish imports had me hooked. Or maybe it was the hand-painted icing on the homemade rolls…

Either way, they were flaky, very sweet, and made me feel like a local.

That is, before I went on a sunny, informative Architecture River Boat tour.

Trump International Hotel & Tower, Chicago, Il.

And visited the Bean, formally known as the Cloud Gate.

Millennium Park, Chicago, Il.

Where’s Waldo?
