Anna's close friend Karoline resides in Chicago, which happened to be one of the two U.S. cities I had always wanted to see (I'll get to you eventually, Des Moines). So, one holiday weekend we took a drive to see the windy city.

The one thing we were determined to see was the Second City improv group. I love comedy, and live comedy is even better! Chicago was also incredibly multi-ethnic, and that's coming from a guy raised in Brooklyn. Best Indian food we ever had - no doubt.
