Chicago

We made it to Chicago last night and are staying with our friend's parents for a couple nights (thanks Hillary!). The drive was perfection. No traffic, quick stops. We saw huge windmills in western Pennsylvania, lots of cows and fields through Ohio and Indiana and miles of power plants along Lake Michigan in Illinois. The Chicago skyline is impressive with the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) dominating. Driving into the city was a breeze thanks to our Garmin Nuvi 265 W GPS (thanks Demetrea and Maria).

The first stretch of our trip (Baltimore-Chicago) took 11.5 hours. Our gas mileage was decent, 25 - 27 miles/gallon but once we take the bikes off the back and put them inside the car, we hope to get 30 miles/gallon.

We're off to try to catch the next train into the city. Talk to yall soon.
