Colin and I left Maine and Rhode Island eventually to make our way West all the way across the country.

I did not photograph the first full day of driving, well because we did a full day of driving and not much sightseeing. We made it a few hours past Cleveland, Ohio and stopped and stayed at a La Quinta for the night. I did remember we went to a subpar Chinese restaurant in the middle of nowhere Ohio.

So then the second day, we got an early start so we can spend our late morning and early afternoon in Chicago. This was my first time in Chicago and it was Colin’s second time. We walked around for a good hour or so and did as much sightseeing as we can in that one hour. We ended our time in Chicago meeting up with an old friend of mine, Kyle, for lunch at Au Cheval. Apparently this place was supposed to be the best burger in the U.S., but I thought it was good not certainly the best I’ve ever had though.

Then we kept on driving for the next 8-10 hours onward to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
