A longer day than we'd hoped today, but at least it wasn't too hot (27ish). Not a very interesting day really, except for the number of states we crossed: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

| Building Being Demolished in Cleveland |
We decided we quite liked Chicago. Much nicer than New York, for example. They certainly like their sports there. On the way in last night we passed the Red Sox stadium and this morning on the way out, Soldier Field, the White Sox stadium and two others we couldn't identify.
As we drove through Cleveland, we saw this old building being demolished. Looked like a small mountain from a distance.
We decided that instead of going to Buffalo we would stop in Erie, Pennsylvania instead. A very depressed town on the south bank of Lake Erie. When we arrived, the street the hotel is in was closed for a street party. The band playing is "Earthquake" who claimed they last played in Erie in 1957. They certainly look old enough! The streets are full of bikers. We wonder how much of the car will be left by tomorrow morning.
Going out for an Italian meal tonight within earshot of the street party. Should be interesting.
