Leaving Chicago ... to Cleveland Ohio

I stayed at my mate Adam's friend's Christof & Elizabeth's place in a nothern Chicago suburb the last 2 nights. Thanks guys for your hospitality. It's good to see a foreign city via a local's perspective.

... and Christof - keep up the good work in that public school - the education industry needs more people like you!

Toll roads abound on the way to Cleveland - which is by no means an indication of the quality of the road - more often it means you're on a road that needs repairs!

Cleveland - strange place, home of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - which I enjoyed, to my surprise. It was strange in that, it looked like an exciting city, some cool architecture & there was the lake front, but it seemed DEAD. There was a theatre district, with shows playing & a bit of neon, but NO theatre cafes or bars to be (obviously) seen in the vicinity. Hardly inviting. The bars were fairly quiet too. Maybe it's too cold (although it wasn't that cold the night I was there - Friday night) for an al fresco type of set up. It was mostly like a ghost town outside - I expected to see tumble-weed.

Currently in Buffalo ... will be off soon the see the Niagra Falls ...
