Another beautiful day - it sort of makes me wonder why did I ever move away! I hear it's snowing in Chicago - how will I ever go home?
After enjoying a great cup of coffee and a little Boudin sourdough bread we just walked around and I enjoyed all the flowers and sculptures. They give me ideas for my own backyard and what I might be able to combine. For instance, they had curly parsley mixed in with poppies and other annuals. I don't think I ever would've thought of putting parsley with flowers, but the texture was really beautiful!
Around noon we ended up on Bush Street. Near Sam's Grill is a street (actually an alley) called Belden Place that was absolutely charming. Apparently, some entrepreneurial dot.com folks came up with this idea about 15 years ago which is why we were so pleasantly surprised by it presence. It was a reminder of the restaurants lined up in Quebec City with the restaurant hawkers out front calling you into their establishment. We decided on a spot that specialized in paella. So we shared a bottle of Sangria and a seafood paella. It was so nice sitting outside enjoying the beautiful day and we discoverd a new exciting spot in the city!
The photos you posted here are very lovely. :) I wish I was brave enough to move far away from home. :)
