I realize that many people would absolutely love to live in a city like Chicago. Don’t get me wrong, it can be a gorgeous city with tons of things to see and experience. However, once I get into the car and start driving out of the city, I am reminded of how beautiful the country (and just the nature that you can’t always witness in the city) really is.

The trip to Ohio, as it always does, made me miss being surrounded by trees and quietness.

As I post these, I am not too sure why I was up at sunrise so often. It was probably due to actually having a full night’s rest due to the complete darkness while you sleep. Ah, the things people take for granted when you don’t live in a city. :-)
