Chicago is beautiful when I leave. The sun is shining bright, no rain and it's not to cool. Thank God cause 2 days ago I thought I was going to die. I pulled into the Westin on Lake Shore Dr. and asked how much the room was, I'm freezing. The guy says, "$249 for a single is the best I can do today". Wow, as cold as I was I didn't want to pay it. After 20 minutes I forced myself out the door...wait a minute that was 2 days ago! What a memory!I'm on I-80/90 heading east...next stop South Bend, IN and the Notre Dame golden dome! Shortly I arrived, and was immediately impressed by the secluded nature of the campus. Very secure and covered with trees, so that you could only really see the campus on foot. When you look at the pics I took you'll notice I went as far in as I could on the bike. The students were very nice and eager to talk about their time at Notre Dame. Actually, this was this wasn't my first time here. I'd driven through South Bend in 1986 on my way to Cleveland and my dad took me on the football field in the 70's to meet his buddy Era Parsegian. I also got to meet the great Joe Theisman & Tom Gatewood! It was beautiful then too.
Back on the road... It rained all of the way to Toledo. Nothing like driving through rush our traffic in Cleveland in a crazy rainstorm! Good old rain gear, and thank goodness for windshields!
Wandering...
