Chicago

We had a late start today as we didn’t have too far to travel.
We travelled around the South rim of Chicago in order to avoid the worst traffic of the
city. There were a lot of rundown & derelict housing surrounded by what seemed like very large lawns. These were
actually empty lots where housing had been demolished.
Large 'lawns' where once there were neighbourhoods.
We stopped at an awesome McDonalds for lunch. It was designed like an old diner and had huge replicas of Elvis,
the Blues Brothers and James Dean. Well worth having to eat the food.
Tonight we are in Indiana, staying at Merriville. Tomorrow we pick up the trailer and can
finally stop living out of bags and eating at restaurants.
