This afternoon G and I went to Chicago to visit with K. I had picked up several things at TJ Maxx that I thought K would like to add to her work wardrobe and I wanted to see if she liked them and if they fit. Sadly, only two items were "keepers."
One of the many great things about visiting K is the abundance of places for us to investigate, especially restaurants. Two weeks ago we ate at a vegetarian/vegan restaurant and last weekend we returned to a neighborhood favorite. Today we decided to walk and shop in addition to keeping our eyes open for something to eat.
To that end, we checked out the Renegade Craft Fair. I have wanted to go to the RCF for quite some time, and finally my desire became reality. The RCF is massive; the double row of tents run down the middle of Division St. for several blocks. A few side streets have tent areas as well. In addition to jewelry, prints, paper goods, furniture, fashion accessories and more, there are also food vendors! G and K weren't especially hungry, but I was feeling a little peckish, so G bought me two BBQ pork tacos and a ginger mint ice tea -- YUM! K tried some of the taco and agreed it was delicious. On our way back to K's apartment we stopped at Caffé Gelato where we shared a small cup of chocolate hazelnut and caramel gelato. It was molto delizioso. : )
My foot was bothering me when we started out from K's apartment. After awhile my foot felt better, but then my hip began to hurt. Aiyiyi, this aging business is not much fun. : /
In spite of my bum foot and hip, today was a beautiful fall day -- cool, yet sunny, with blue skies and puffy white clouds. I was happy that I finally made it to the Renegade Craft Fair and *BONUS* I was able to spend time with K and enjoy some super tasty food as well. I'll take a day like that anytime. : ))
