Second day in Chicago...
Didn't get to see "CHICAGO" yet...
maybe I have...
It's very different from the cities I've been to so far.
People here seem very different
Just from the people I saw in the city...
Only thing that's similar to other cities are that
people are running
they are exercising
I have not seen anyone in Texas running
no.. I have
I have seen people running
anyhow
People dress differently from NY or Boston...
it's so much colder and windy compare to other northern cities...
----------------------------------------------
On the way to Chicago,
we made a stop at Indiana Dunes Park by the Lake Michigan
walking up to the beach at Lake Michigan was something else...
it was around 7:30 so we were able to see the sunset.
It was a very cloudy day... not the rainy cloud
but very soft cloud covering the sky
The sunset by the lake was gorgeous...
It wasn't extremely red - orange color of "SUNSET"
it was more of very light pastel baby blue - purple
very calming color...
color of mom...
I don't know if that even make any sense
but I thought of mom... looking at the sunset
someone who can understand everything and will just love you
all they would do is love you...
that was the feeling I had at the moment
very warm and gentle... hahahaha
anyhow
the great lakes!!
big body of water...
and it was just fresh water!! LAKE!! not an ocean...
seeing that big water
but it didn't smell salty... not like ocean salt water...
haha I LOVE IT!!
----------------------------------------------
so right now...
I'm sitting in a car at a park...
Justin's outside talking to his friend
and I was out there looking around...
I saw two little boys and their dad playing baseball...
what a great picture that is...
Dad playing with his kids on a weekend
that's something every little kid wants
I started to think of my childhood...
when I was those boys age... maybe between 7-10
those two little boys reminded me of my brother and I
older one (me) chubby not athletic at all
little one (my bro) fit, active, and very athletic.
only different thing was...
our dad wasn't around us to play with us...
to play catch with us...
that's something my brother and I wanted
to have dad with us on weekend or any days to play with us
but he was a very busy person
being a pastor... weekends are ofcourse the busiest for him
and during weekdays, he was outside witnessing, visiting members
all that pastor business....
So it was just my bro and I playing together
played catches with each other
we did everything together....
we were more like friends than brothers sometimes.. hahah
of course, we fought alot
but we were pretty tight
seeing those two boys were like looking at myself and my brother
I tried to play sports with him but he was always better than me
He was so much better and quick
I just couldn't be like him....
but I enjoyed that so much.
Because I had someone to play with
someone to spend time with...
that's my brother
up to now...
we do alot of things together
we sleep on the same bed haha
we always shared everything growing up
room of course
we used to wear same clothes
mom would go and buy a shirt for me but at the same time,
she would grab a exact same shirt but just a little smaller
haha
and now...
we are almost same size so we do not have to buy two different size of
same clothing haha I would buy a shirt and that would be his
and his clothes will be mine
man...
anyhow
I've been having alot of time reflecting and thinking
but now it's time to go out and make work!
So tomorrow...
I'll ask people
I'll get at least two people to participate in my project
and... I'll have 100 people by end of this trip...
I promise...
so far I don't have many
but I will!
Once I'm in the zone of taking pictures and talking to people
I know I can work that magic!!
