Day 26 Memphis – Chicago, Illinois

We departed Memphis around 11am and made our way to Chicago, Illinois. After experiencing superb weather the entire trip, we weren’t too sad when we encountered our first real rainfall. As we drove into Chicago around 8.30pm however; the weather became quite extreme with severe thunderstorms and extremely heavy rain making driving quite difficult. For this reason, we can excuse Keanan for driving up the footpath. Even though he’s hit the curb twice previously on the trip, we commend his ability to drive entirely up on the footpath this time, and with no scratches. We’re sure it was just the weather, not  Keanan’s driving at fault.

By the time we had settled into our hotel and with another time zone change, we found ourselves ordering food through a delivery service again. Or should we say a cheese delivery service. Jon and Keanan’s lasagnes and Malena’s pizza slices must have contained about 2 kilos of cheese all up. The food did not turn up until about 12.30am, which made for some easy sleeping.
