A day of rain and sunny brakes, we departed from our motel in Bryan at 8:30 - on time I may add. There was a 50's style diner about 1km away and it was a very good choice for breakfast, so if you visit Bryan the name is Lestor's Dinner. (http://www.lestersonline.com/). What was different this year is only 25% full - where did the people go. We found out that the US economy is very bad and no one has money for restaurants.
We skipped Chicago as the starting point as we did last year, the roads and traffic are just so bad. So this year we started at the Route 66 Joliet Historical Museum.
Joliet impressed us last year, so why not make it the start of this years trip. We stopped at a Route 66 Tourist Trap called the Gemini Giant which is outside the Launching Pad drive-in. The fiberglass astronaut stands 28 feet tall and weighs 500 pounds. See a photo in the photo section.
We made it to our Hotel in Dwight at 6pm, after a tiring day on the road. Again only 4 rooms taken for the night in a Motel 6!!
