The Coast in the Middle
Photo Essay written 2 July 2008
Chicago may be urban, Midwestern, hardworking. But it's not often celebrated for its lighter side on the east: a sparkling lake sprinkled with sailboats. Though when you think about it, sailing here makes perfect sense. We are the Windy City, after all.
Starting to sparkle
Soon, the streetlights forming a ribbon along Lake Shore Drive will be joined by thousands of glittering bulbs downtown. It's even more dramatic when contrasted with the inky black lake and seen from the peaceful hush of a sailboat.

One final glimpse, for today
We love the sun here in Chicago, especially viewed from a sailboat in Lake Michigan. We don't see this friend very often, so we make time to enjoy it at all costs.

Lined up and watching
Downtown Chicago turns its face to the setting sun, watching as it slips off to Iowa. We were watching, too, as the wind pulled us along.

Windy City, Full Sails
One of Chicago's often overlooked assets is its amazing coast, where a sailing community thrives. Water glitters to the east of this pretty city as far as the eye can see.

Sweet Trump Suite
Perhaps you’ve been warned about portion sizes and exquisite dishes available in Chicago’s culinary wonderland. If you’re good with that, then there are plenty of ways to store and reheat leftovers in your top-of-the-line kitchen. On a diet? Need your daily dose of choco-wafers? Tell your personal attaché upon making your reservation, and the hotel will stock your kitchen with Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, your favorite brand of breakfast cereal and anything else your heart and stomach desire.
