While staying at Jungle Beach, we met a lovely couple, Mark and Nix, from London district 2. He’s an artist, she’s a part-time yoga instructor & consultant. Mark went to grad school in NYC over Chicago but has apparently always had a thing for the Windy City. Such a thing, it seems, that he proposed doing a flat swap – Chicago for London – for a bit of time. So we exchanged information and plan to keep in touch. London wouldn’t have been my first choice but I’m certainly not about to shut that down if I need to get away for a month or so down the road.
