Map of progress
Today was our first full day on the road and I will say that it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. We broke up the driving evenly, listened to The Omnivore's Dilemma (great book, more on this in a later blog) and music.
Correction on Sandra's post: the bag of snacks is more like 10 lbs. I really hope we don't finish it. The kettle corn is really delicious and can be found at Whole Foods. We've also tried their smoked cheddar flavor and that was good too.
We left a little later than expected this morning as we were writing those posts you read today! We got to Buffalo at around 1pm and had Beef on Weck. I had a Birch Beer that suspiciously tasted a lot like the root beer I had during my going away gathering last Friday. Birch Beer = Root Beer?
We made decent time getting to Cleveland while driving through some rain showers.
We totally intended to go to a Cambodian restaurant recommended by Brandon and Kristi but, we some how forgot about that when we got here and ended up eating at another recommendation: Lola.
As a compromise, Sandra gets to write about the food that we ate today. I mean, that's what she does/did for work anyways right?? I will say that dinner at Lola was really good.
So what's your part of the bargain? - you may ask.
This is my part of the bargain.
That's right, much to our enjoyment, the website actually has a theme song too!
How did we ever come across such a website?
From the billboard on the Cleveland Public Bus is where!
Sorry, the picture didn't come out well because we saw it when we were driving back to the hotel from dinner and it was dark already. Clicking on the pic will show you more details.
It was hilarious to pull up next to this bus and see PETPEEPEE.COM, it even has a picture of a dog peeing on a carpet.
So there you have it. My short write up of the day.
Next stop: Chicago.
And lastly, Gus is well trained. He isn't allowed on the bed. So, he sits on me instead.

Okay, Jane's attempts to get you fat in Chicago...where in Chicago are you going to be?:
1. Lou Mitchell's for brunch or breakfast. Sandra can get free Milk Duds! (Everyone can get free donut holes...)
2. Giordano's for pizza. Chicago style doesn't work anywhere else other than Chicago...you should see the "Chicago Town Pizzas" in England. I want to cry.
3. Moonstruck on Michigan for chocolate related products. I love this shop.
But to be honest, you probably know this better than me. And from looking at your next post, you don't necessarily want to die from food intake during your quest back to Cali!
Even though I saw you in Febuary, wish I could see you again. Well, hopefully I'll visit and finally meet Ivan and Gus!
