City Market

With time to spare before my flight home I spent the last day in Chicago meandering the streets aimlessly. With no goal or destination in particular I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon the Chicago Sister Cities International Festival. Held in front of the Daley Plaza that day's event coincided with the Farmers Market which is regularly held at the same location every Thursday. Your typical Farmers Market vendors could be found featuring jewelry, produce, soaps, flowers, and cheese. What stuck my complete interest was the excess in food vendors. Each City presented its finest fare in a quick grab and eat style. Ukraine, Mexico, Italy, Korea, and Poland come to mind when I think who was represented. I gave each vendor a quick pass and soaked in every menu pushing my way amongst the suits and high heals. I couldn't help but notice the line at the Warsaw, Poland stand and then I caught a glimpse of the plates being handed out. Done exactly in Chicago style hotdog fashion this attraction featured and lovely polish sausage. I waited patiently in line and enjoyed tunes of traditional Dutch music and dancing being showcased on the stage nearby until I was due up. Bravo! Well worth the wait.  I spent the better half of my afternoon talking to different vendors and taking in the live music, great way to end an awesome trip.
