A hot dog in a bun topped with mustard, relish, and onions on a wooden tray. Behind it, there is a can of Kölsch-style ale with the branding 'Boat Shoes' and a cold beverage can with a pull-tab. The background shows an outdoor setting with a wooden table, benches, a serving boat on the water, and a person standing on a boat.

What I LEarned About

People sitting on a boat with a city skyline, including tall skyscrapers, in the background. The water is visible in the foreground, and the sky is partly cloudy with the sun shining.
People gather in front of a colorful pink and blue building with a sign that reads 'Museo Frida Kahlo.' A large tree with green leaves is visible above the building, and several people are wearing hats and sunglasses, some looking towards the camera.
A street scene with parked cars, colorful townhouses, palm trees, and greenery. The buildings are pastel shades of pink, blue, and light green. There are street lamps, a fire hydrant, and a parking sign visible.

  • Charleston is an amazing city with a myriad of things to do, a visual feast for the eyes, and a physical feast for the stomach.

  • Mexico City is a cavernous city with a little something for everyone.

  • Chicago is such an amazing city with delicious food, great neighborhoods, and surprisingly warm people (especially for such a big city).
