Chicago!

Chicago! The windy city...or so they say, my experience with the literal part of the nickname is this: that's really only true if you're down by the lake. It's been a great experience thus far, minus not having a job or a place to move into yet. I still have a week though so hopefully something turns out by then!

In the meantime, here are some pictures of my current home, consider it a virtual tour. I didn't include pictures of either bedroom, but they are pretty standard as far as bedrooms go. I got a little camera happy, but the building is old with a few quirks and I kind of like it! :-)

This is the hallway. I took pics entering and leaving the apartment, if you can't figure out which is which the closed door is sort of a dead giveaway:


The Living Room (I slept on that couch for about a week):


The "Dining room," complete with homemade cookies on the table. It's really not a room since it's in the living room, more of a dining area:


Moving forward! Connected to the dining room is our kitchen. I'm a fan of the checkered floor:


We also have a bathroom, one of those apartment necessities:


The door in the kitchen leads to our back porch. Below is a picture of said porch, however you cannot see the iron rungs on the wall that lead up to the roof, but I promise they are there. Also, there are a couple of our "lovely" porch views.


Which brings us to my favorite place, the roof. The sunset was particularly pretty the evening I was up there, so I decided to capture the moment:


So ends my tour, hopefully you weren't too disappointed...if you were, next time lower your expectations ;-) New pictures will come once I am permanently established in the city.
