"Breezing through the Windy City"

July came in a flurry 

and swept me away to Chicago,

that old city of wind and sun.

I stayed with my best friend from childhood,

Kairi Saotome Miss Erin Hunt.

I normally don't eat Chinese food,
but Chicago's Chinatown is too lovely to pass.

I've been to the Chicago zoo before, and loved it.
It's huge with tons and tons of animals.
Except this time, only 4 or 5 animals were out.
Huh? Hurray, camels...

And pretty zebras...

We saw Beauty and the Beast and fell in love:

My mother and Erin, with Lumiere.

Myself, with Gaston.

This trip ended too soon! Anyone up for a safari or somethin'?
