Fall In Love With Cities. By Sara Minges

Lose yourself in their eyes and soul.

Walk around the square.

Soak into your skin their vibrant energy.

Wander into local bookshops and taverns.

Be curious, ask about the histories of neighborhoods.

Learn how Pilsen differs from Lincoln Park.

Savor the spices of life.

Savor each moment
like a delectable piece

of chocolate,

to be tenderly consumed.
