wilmette is visually stunning. i only really went to visit the temple which was like visiting a piece of heaven. but i walked around the town a little bit in the cold rains of May. it’s right on the water. It was my first time ever seeing a great lake and i couldn’t believe how big it was. it was like staring off into the ocean! for a second i thought, oh, i wonder what ocean this is! but then it hit me that i wasn’t anywhere near the ocean. hahahaha! i’d like to visit again and get a little more acquainted with the town. but my drive along the water and walk around the house of worship to the cemetery and all was just amazing. i like the little parts of the town i saw. remind me of quieter parts of baltimore. fumbly sidewalks lined with broad-canopy trees and old pretty houses and architecture. it wasn’t dreary or anything, just very peaceful.
