A Quiet Oasis in a Big City

I was in Chicago recently, and while I enjoyed sightseeing the major attractions among the other tourists and locals, I discovered that my favorite part of my short visit to the Windy City was the quiet morning I spent along the Riverwalk. At 8:00am I had the place practically to myself, apart from for the occasional joggers and dog walkers. After seeing the city from 94 floors above the night before in the Hancock building, I loved the different perspectives of the city from the Riverwalk. The architecture of Chicago's skyscrapers had a completely different feel there. If you're like me and enjoy a little peace and quite time for yourself, don't miss this gem! For a glimpse of Lake Michigan (the only Great Lake entirely in the U.S.), keep walking eastward.
