Last year, we stayed in Brooklyn and rode bikes around New York City for a week. We had no car. It was awesome.
I want to do a similar thing in Chicago this year. What are your vacation ideas? Not so much “the dream vacation that I want to do someday but can’t”, what do you want that you might do soon?

    I just came back to Sweden after a week in the south of Spain, and if you like dramatic nature environments, check out El Caminito del Rey, it is now safe and easy to walk, but it is scary at the end, even if it is safe and well built

      Is it that crazy concrete trail sticking to the rock high above the land? Like path to some dam/power plant? I’ve seen one gopro video from that and almost threw up. I’m too afraid to put that in search engine now.

        Yep, that is the old path, the new path follows the old but is safe and well maintained.

        At the end you have to cross a suspension bridge with a grated floor above a 100+ meters drop, the bridge is bouncy, but when you look at the cables you can see that they are way over built for the stresses they encounter.

        Didn’t stop my vertigo though.

        Then when walking down a few stairs I would turn around and back down them at that point.

        If you wonder about it, you can check it out on google street view, it is all documented there with the new path
