After breakfast we started the long journey to Cleveland. I must say there is not a lot of scenery in the Midwest!! We finished Harry Potter, just excellent!
We arrived in Cleveland around 4 after losing an hour to the time change. Our hotel, the Embassy Suite, is right downtown. Our two rooms are easily four times the size of our little room in Chicago. We have a view of the lights of the ballpark from our window. After settling in, we walked around Cleveland a bit then had dinner at the Winking Lizard tavern, a place recommended by the bellhop. Wonderful food and over a hundred kinds of beer. It was right near the ballpark, must be hopping after games.
Now we are back at our place, doing laundry, watching, of course, baseball, the Dodgers vs. Cubs back in Chicago. We plan to go for a dip in the pool then turn in.
I guess I need a few fillers since this is such a short post. Hmm…. How about our favorite signs and comments so far:
1). A sign a panhandler in Chicago was holding: “I’ve made a few bad decisions in my life…”
2). A sign in a construction zone on the interstate: “$15,000 fine for killing a construction worker.”
3). Pitch from a panhandler here in Cleveland: “ I won’t lie,I need $1.25 for a Colt 45. Please!!”
Last comment: We cannot believe the cost of gasoline. Yikes!!! Holy Cow!!! Holy Toledo!!!! We saw a high (so far) of $4.39 just outside Chicago, but this afternoon it was $3.99 outside Cleveland. We are hopeful it will go down.
Tomorrow we are off to the noon Cleveland vs. White Sox game at Progressive Field, then hope to go to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
