Day 2: Chicago

which state of mind?

started the day with real crispy masala dose, it was a gorgeous day to start the journey. more the reason to waste more time at home. so started late, and got to cleveland, in couple of hours had a quick look at the town and gawked at the houses built right on the lake eerie. it sure was eerie. wonder how difficult it is to live there during the winter. talk about the lake effect.

what started out as a easy drive to chicago, turned out to be a real long trip. enroute decided to meet an old friend, so a relatively short detour to Ann Harbor and drove through a little bit of sleet and rain through Kalamazoo and to Chicago. Unlike expected, ended up meeting more friends in Milwaukee for dinner, the first paid meal of the trip.

Only complaint, Chicago, for the second time was a touch-n-go trip. Could have driven less than that...
