Two Beers and a Pretzel

I’ve got the itch to travel m and my house is still occupied by admittedly only for another week or two), so I’m in Chicago to meet up with my cousin Luke, then drive to Los Angeles via Route 66.

Granted, most of Route 66 was decommissioned decades ago, and it does not actually exist on maps anymore – so I’ll be following the same general path, but not sticking to a strict path of the old, dilapidated roadways.  That might not be good for the ol’ suspension and tires.

I’ve bought a guide to the national parks since I’ll be passing a number of them along the way, as well as a campground index, book of senic drives, and firld guide to North American birds.

Last night we went to a phenominal blues bar and heard an amazing blues band – The Chicago Rhythm and Blues Kings.

I’ve had to park at a metered spot and feed the meter every 2 hours – or risk a wheel lock…

Hopefully we’ll have some better weather tomorrow and I can get some pics of the travelling bunny at some iconic Chicago locations before I leave town…
