Satuday, 4th April: Worthington – Chicago
Up early on the road
Passing farming land in Minnesota
Straight down the I-90
Went for the scenic routes, i.e cross country, we cut down to Mason City, Iowa. Saw two buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright there.
Then along the 18, crossing Mississippiriver into Wisconcin.
Discovered that we are not far from Talisien North. Detoured there.
By now Martin had enough of the 55 miles an hour speed limit on the country roads.
At Madison we finally got back on Interstate straight down to Chicago.
Toll roads
First time we encountered traffic in a week
Hotel was a great location but crap. Rooms were still being cleaned when we checked in at 7pm.
Got a free drink – got in theroom at 9pm – not happy.
Brian Udovich gave us a few great recommendations of where to go in Chicago. So, went for dinner at pizzeria uno, drink at a brewery round the corner, and then watched blues at the blue Chicago. Great to be out and amongst people.
550miles

When we lived in Australia, Mrs Albion would do road trips through the USA every few months.
Whenever she went to Minnesota, we would have a fight on the phone.
On the third trip we decided that she just wouldn't call me the night she was in Minnesota.
