We camped on some private property and in the morning had a nice conversation with the owner, John, who runs a sawmill and has blueberry pickings on his property in the morning.  We drove through country roads to our Motel near Chicago’s O’Hare airport. We then drove into the city to meet Andre’s friend Joe. They hadn’t seen each other for over 20 years. We had diner and walked around town.

Andre left on an early flight Tuesday morning so he could get back to work, and I have spent the past few days visiting my cousin Lisa and her family. Tomorrow I continue on East.
