Glenview

Yesterday's drive was a long one. The hours were the same but, it just seemed like it was longer. I left London around 8:30 and was on my way. I got to Louisville, and waved to the fair city that I have been to and enjoyed a time before. I follow the interstate around the city and I start heading North. I was in Indiana and I did not even know it until mile marker 10. The state border is covered with concrete and cars. I headed to Indianapolis and again waved to a city I have spent time in and loved. I was tempted to go down to Borders and buy a book but, I was on a tight schedule to get to Chicago.
I continue on my way thinking about lunch and trying to find a place to stop. I almost completely forgot that I need to check my gas. I was maybe a little lower than a forth of the tank. I needed to stop. So I got off the interstate and found a gas station. Then I headed a little bit further and found a Wendy's.
Okay I do not know what it was but, everyone and there mother were there. I waited about forty-five minutes to order. It was crazy. After I ate my Plain Chicken Fillet I got back in my car and drove on... and drove on... and drove on...
Until I reached Chicago. I am so not used to the traffic. There are so many cars. I am so glad I do not have to drive much in the city. I also had to pay two tolls. I was not expecting two. One I paid and it was only a buck fifty. Okay I could handle that. The next one which was maybe a mile away was for the skyway and it was three dollars. I freaked out, I only had a dollar fifty with me left. Luckily, the gentlemen allowed me to pay with credit. You can pay tolls with your credit card, how weird is that. No matter how weird it was it saved my life, well not my life but, you know what I mean.
I kept driving a little more and finally got out side the city and in the the suburbs and into Glenview. Beautiful area, plenty or streets for cycling. Nice green grass, and sidewalks everywhere. It is fantastic.
I found the house, and Bob, the father, was mowing the lawn, and then I passed the house because I did not know I was there until it was too late to turn. So I turned around drove back, and freaked Bob out because he had no clue who I was at first glance. Maria came out of the house and gave me hug and I felt so loved already.
