Weather ideal for travelling: not to hot ( temperature in the mid 70 F ) but a bit overcast.
Having done all our chores in Birmingham we hit the road at around 11:30 am. Leaving
the Detroit traffic behind us we reached I-94 West some time later.
From here on it was a smooth ride in a western direction only interrupted by a pit stop
close to the Michigan / Indiana border to fill up gas and have a coffee with a cherry cake.
Traffic started to to thicken when we reached the vicinity of Chicago but thanks to Sandra's
GPS system ( on loan from very good friends of hers ) we managed to drive through the Chicago
traffic without any problem and didn’t even miss any of the turns we had to take.
At around 4:30 pm we reached Oak Park and our motel.
Unpacking was the first on the agenda before we started a walk through downtown Oak Park to
stretch our legs and indulge a great ice-cream at “Coldstone Creamerie”: French Vanilla mixed with
roasted hazelnuts.
Delightfull !
I will definitely have another one whilst we are here.
