Day 3:
30/8/05:

Left Niagra Falls, Canada at 7:30pm
Arrived hostel in Chicago at 8:30pm.
Distance : 601 miles.
We drove through our first time zone.



This was one hell of a drive. 600 miles is about a fifth of the way accross the country. We went though Ontario, and drove the whole way across New York state, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiniana and finally Illinois. We got up early and took down the tent and hit the road at about 7:30. The drive was a bit like that outrun game on the mega drive if anyone has ever played that. As the hours passed the scenery slowly changed from mountins to flat vast open corn fields. Ohio is pretty much all massive corn fields and farm houses and corn silos.The first stop we made was in Cleavland in Ohio (I think). We stopped just after teh city in what seemed to be quite a majour G-hetto. We made a quick escape.. and stopped a but later. We stopped then at Notre Dame college which was really cool. We saw the american football team training, they take it quite the seriously.

Sun set on the way into Chicago city:





Our visit to hooters yesterday:




A fireworks factory we made a brief stop at in Ohio :
Myself, Kevin and Simon with Chagico in the backround.

We spent most of today (the 1st) around Chicago and I'll finish by saying that it's the best city I've ever been to. The place is absolutely amazing, the city is beautiful and the view from Sears Tower was incredible.

It's 6 o clock here now and we''re heading off west for a few hours drive.
