Longish drive today from Chicago – Cuba about 6 hours. Liked the windy city a lot but wouldnt recommend the hop on hop off bus, we spent a lot of the day waiting for it. However it was a good way to see the city. The bean and public art was great and we visited the Trickster Gallery (a native american fine art), We stopped a couple of classic 66 sites along the way like the spaceman, and also saw the giant tricycle, icecream cone, flying saucer, and then visited the cahoki mounds, before making our stop in the classic wagon wheel motel but not before rounding off the day at the Hicks BBQ, which was great ribs and pulled pork, (lori had a salad).
