Today picked up the car and navigated our way out of Chicago. ROads were dryand plenty of snow lying around but sunny skies ansd a bracing 25 degrees F for most of the day.
We have already two entries in the WORLD BEST or BIGGEST . In Cicero we saw theWorld' s Biggest Laundromat followed in Romoeville by the WORLDS
BEST ribs. Not bad for day one.
We visited the Illinois State Penitentiary ( from the outside) in Joliet and could see Jake and Elwood (Blues Brothers) being released.
Had lunch in Dwight at the route 66 family diner where we both had soup, meatloaf and refused desert. Total bill for two including the tip was $25.
Sopped in Pontiac and visited the route 66 mu seum which was brilliant.
We are in Bloomington overnight In a large room each at a hotel where the room is $80 for the night.. We cant get over how cheap everything is
Tomorrow off to Springfield , Abraham Lincoln country then on to ST Louis
