Day 5

Location: Omaha Nebraska

Since Sandra is doing such a good job with the food descriptions, I'm just going to let her continue. I want our readers to know that Sandra takes this blog very seriously and works on it with the same fervor as if it had a real publishing deadline. Last night she stayed up until 1:30 am, when we were waking up at 5:30 am to hit the road, just to finish her entry.

We spent a full day in Chicago. Much thanks to Marsha for letting us stay at her place for two nights.

I was able to meet up with my cousin for lunch, and spent the afternoon with Brandon. Dinner was at Cafe Iberico. Fabulous food at affordable prices.

Before dinner, I walked about 16 blocks round trip to buy some Garrets popcorn. Garrets is a Chicago institution that specializes in flavored popcorn. The most notable being the 'Mini Mix' consisting of cheddar cheese corn and carmel corn mixed together. After buying it and eating a few, I realized how bad it is for you. We ended up throwing away most of it this afternoon to prevent us from eating any more of it.

Ok, I'm tired. Sandras turn.

Today, we drove to Iowa City and had an interesting concoction: a pie shake. Sandra will upload more info. But, it's vanilla ice cream, blended with a slice of pie of your choice. Ridiculous for sure.
