Personally, I used to say I stopped walking around the day I got my driver's license.

While I still would rather drive anywhere as opposed to taking a walk, I have learned a good stroll is something you can't take for granted.

Who knows, maybe I'm getting older or maybe I'm just finding new ways to get a little bit of exercise.

Either way, if you like walking one of the "most scenic" riverwalks in the world is in Chicago.
