Always feeling well protected when I walk the streets in Montrose.

The closer you look, the less you’ll see

So as John Hughes mentioned The Art Institute of Chicago as one
of his favorite places, it was mine too. It was hard to say goodbye,
but I’ll keep all the good impressions in mind.

Don't Forget Chicago

Another city walk but this time in lovely Chicago. Full of impressive architecture (you can't miss Mies ;) and a bed with a view for our prince.
I was more than happy to walk some of the Ferris Bueller settings. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was John Hughes' love letter to the city: "I really wanted to capture as much of Chicago as I could. Not just in the architecture and landscape, but the spirit."
