Greetings from exit 77 on the Indiana Tollway, nearish Notre Dame Uni.

It's 86 degrees here. We did not pack "summer" clothes.

We hope to be in Cleveland OH so i can eat dinner at Qdoba (LOVE their Mexican Gumbo).

I-94, NOT I-90
Good thing (e:uncutsaniflush) is around to make sure i go east across Wisconsin on the correct highway.

We ate dinner at the vegetarian place in Wisconsin Dells, The Cheese Factory, again. Their duxelle was sOOoo good, as was their Hungarian Goolash and (gluten & dairy free!) corn and millet pudding with fried bananas walnuts and cranberries.

It was a bit breezy on the hilly windy bits of I-94 just outside Minnesota.

We went to the American Swedish Institute and saw a beautiful old home with the most amazing ceramic fireplaces (no pics allowed inside!).

We ate at the Purple Sanpiper for breakfast... the chef (owner?) asked me if i came back for more bacon.........

I thought you were a vegetarian. How does pig count as a vegetable? ;-)

Bacon
it's a gateway meat. Thanks for the peer pressure chef (owner?) of Purple Sandpiper! P.S. Your cardamom ice cream is the bestest ever

Bacon is Great! Really why eat other meat if there is Bacon! That being said though it is a great meat to put with other meat so it is a gateway meat.................

Greetings From The Central Time Zone
Car has additional 800+ miles on the odometer. I drove about 700 of them.

I giggled with glee when i saw the 70mph sign on the Ohio Turnpike.

The Indiana toll system can kiss my fat white ass for making me wait 15 minutes to pay to leave and give me change in Susan B Anthony dollar coins.

Chicago looks like an interesting place to visit but i wouldn't want to drive there.

Accidentally found the most foodie vegetarian restaurant because we got off the highway to get gas (pictures will follow eventually) in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.

I like the Wisconsin landscape but it was hillier than i expected on the I-90/I-94 and drivers don't seem to understand the slower drivers should keep right rule.

Love our Park Place Hotel room and it's comfy king sized bed.

It's challenging to buy beer in Minnesota on Sundays.

I suspect i will have sore feet tomorrow......
