"The Bite of Eastern Winter"

"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face." -Victor Hugo

I flew to Chicago for a play date with Miss Erin. 

Basically, we ate. For two days.

But I also experienced a lot of "firsts".

It was the first time I ever flew standby.

It was also the first time I ever flew first class.

{Unlimited orange juice and snack boxes? Don't mind if I doooo~}

And I flew standby & first class both ways.

It was the first time I visited Chicago in the winter. 

It was the first time I attended a German Christmas Market.

You're a real unconscious man, 

if you can empty that boot. (ô_ô)

I wanted one of these so badly. (ㅎㅁㅎ;;)

It was the first time I saw the lights, downtown. (｡◕‿◕｡) キラキラ

Black Forest clocks & nutcrackers. (´ ▽｀)

I'll be seeing these next year, in Munich.

It was my first time seeing street-performing angels. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Erin's extended family took us out for burgers at DMK.

{New favorite!}

Erin's deviled eggs.

My lamb burger.

{I eat baby animals. ψ(｀∇´)ψ omygoshIfeelhorrible}

It was the first time I dined at an authentic German restaurant.

Pork wiener schnitzel & spätzle.

It was my first time eating at a Swiss waffle house.

Life is exciting, when you punt your schedule book out the window for a weekend.
Now... onward to finishing out this semester! p(´⌒｀｡q)
