The day before we settle into an apartment with a little kitchenette near the airport in Chicago. We took lovely pictures in Dwight and Matt explored the local library.
We woke in Joilet and only had 60 miles or so to fill, so it became it was a meandering day. We found Route 66 again, so turning full circle from the beginning of the journey.
We met a lovely lady who was responsible for a local theatre which had a rich history, dived into a hot fudge brownie ice cream on route66 (the shop we visited in 2016 was soon closing for the season on the 19th November). Also spotted Dicks on ‘66, a vehicle recovery service.
We had lunch in an empty cafe and served by a young fella who we hope was inspired to travel.
The last couple of hours of the day were spent in dense traffic as we approached Chicago, skipping past the equally jammed up toll roads. After stocking up for a few days at Walmart, we checked into an appt at dusk, parked our car to give it a good old rest. Freddy our adventure car was now on holiday until we drove him to the rental drop-off.
