Day 10 - South Bend

Distance: 400 miles
Time: 6.5 hours

Nick was disappointed to find that ZIP 104 is now a Christian music station, but relieved to find that U93 was still hip and happenin'. His old house is still in the same place, mostly unchanged, his old school still populated with elementary boys and girls, and the church next door still as beautiful and charming as ever. The University of Notre Dame library, however, was missing the reflecting pool that used to enhance the mural covering its front entrance.

On the way to Cleveland, we stopped at a Travel Plaza on the toll roads for Popeye's (we hadn't eaten there since New Orleans in 2002) where they threw in extra food with our order - a touch of that Midwestern hospitality.

Cleveland seems like an okay place to live - lots of greenery, plenty of shopping, very cheap parking! But, of course, we haven't checked the radio stations yet. Nick said living in Chicago would make him want to subscribe to Satellite radio. ;)

We turned on the television in time to see a special on SNL in the 90's and ended up watching it until who knows when in the morning - we weren't tired because of the time change! One advantage to flying is that you get all of the jet lag out of your system at the same time. Driving a car, it happens little by little!

We have car lag.
