Day 4: Sandusky Ohio to Chicago

Day 4: Sandusky Ohio to Chicago

We arose early, at 10 am, and went running in the local Sandusky community along lake Eire. Dora and Jesus told us to come back to their restaurant when we had showered and were done with our daily calisthenics. When we got there we had yet another wonderful lunch and great green hot sauce. Dora and Jesus even packed us sandwiches to go! Here we are with our hosts.

Then we were on the road again heading towards Chicago and out couch surfing home for the next two nights with Nicole. We changed times zones and arrived at 6pm. For your information, if you get hungry before you want to pay a toll in Illinois – you can go through the McDonalds highway take out window. This is a major problem with the world.

Our couch surfing host is a huge Cubs fan and was out wishing them luck with fellow fans – so we met up with Zack Jackson. He is a high school friend of Maryanne. We took the L Train two stops to B.L.U.E.S. and arrived early enough to get the best seats in the house. Helen had a martini as a belated birthday gift from Maryanne (Helen’s Birthday is May 25th). This birthday gift brought much joy to Helen. Maryanne tried the local ale – Goose Honkers and enjoyed it so much that neither one of them remember what Zack was drinking. The music was great and the crowd was even better. Our favorite audience member was a man wearing a cowboy hat named Walter. He was “dancing” with every girl with two legs and was called on stage to squeeze a rather large woman’s breast. This moment was very similar to a car accident. We left and went to our host house for the evening. She lives a mere two blocks from Wrigley Field and had Obama signs in her front yard. We knew she would be good.
