Jersey City to Seattle Roadtrip
Day 2 – Monday, October 2

The second day we decided to take it easy and so a shorter tour. We drove trough the remaining parts of Indiana and into Illinois until we made it to Chicago. Near the state border we passed into the Central Standard Time zone and gained an hour.

In Chicago we visited our friends Aditi and Subhayu, who were gracious hosts and made sure that we had a good time. Subhayu and I are good friends and until recently were also colleagues in New York. We were delayed and instead of Sunday arrived mid-day Monday but as luck would have it Aditi’s flight to Cleveland (where her current consulting assignment is) was canceled and she welcomed us with a wonderful assortment of home-cooked Indian dishes for lunch. In the afternoon we strolled from W Huron to Subhayu’s office downtown then on to the Millenium Park and along the shore of Lake Michigan up to Navy Pier for a quick tour of many points of interest. For dinner all four of us enjoyed a great local specialty, Chicago style deep dish stuffed pizza at Giordano’s. This light day gave us a chance to rest up for another long day of driving.
