Summer in Chicago

Back in Chicago after 14 years. This time I spent eight days in the city. I stayed four nights near LaSalle and the remainder off North Michigan Avenue.
One of the highlights was seeing Garbage and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds perform at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island Park on Lake Michigan.
From Chicago I travelled to a place I had not visited before: New Orleans.
