Quick Trip To The Midwest...

We spent last last week in St. Charles and Geneva, Illinois at a lovely wedding on a beautiful farm. I had never been to (heard of?) these two riverside suburban Chicago towns. What struck me was how nice everyone was. Dare I say Midwest nice? They were lovely, friendly, open, helpful and very different from many folks on the coasts – the northeast coast at least. 😬

 

Some high points in St. Charles:

 

The Fine Art Show:  

 

 

 

Absolutely yummy Grilled Skirt Steak Tacos and Guac at La Mesa in downtown St. Charles: 

 

 

 

The Hotel Baker, Ēkwabet Statue and St. Charles Fire Station:
