Last night I took my first trip to the Art Institute. I’m trying to think of the last time I went to a big art museum and I think it may have been a year ago when I went to MOMA QNS with Jeannette. It was just what I needed.

On the walk back to the el to go home I ate at Baja Fresh. I haven’t been to a Baja Fresh for about 3 years - when I lived in CA. Seeing the salsa bar put a smile on my face.

    Sometime when you come to visit, we can go to the Milwaukee Art museum. That’s the only art museum I’ve ever been to, but I thought they had pretty good exhibits.
