Day 357: Aug. 27, 2008

Before leaving Purdue behind, we stopped at the nearest Sprint store to buy a home charger for our phones -- seeing as how both of ours remained on the kitchen counter from Monday night's charging session.

We also talked to Jimmy, who said the shower doors were looking good so far.

And then we were off -- toward Iroquois County in Illinois (which is where I'm standing the photo) and then to the Indiana-Michigan line for a Michigan photo.

Along the way, we encountered those huge electricity-generating windmills for the second time. (The first was on our quick trip to Iowa last year.)

Something about those windmills captivates to me. They're huge, and I understand that there are issues with them disturbing the migratory patterns of birds. I'd guess some locals dislike them as much as I abhor mountaintop-removal mining in eastern Kentucky.

But I love the windmills anyway. We took pictures, but they don't do any better a job than TV in conveying just how massive the darn things are. Stopping to take the photos felt like meeting a celebrity.

So we finally made it to the hotel, which was actually in the northern suburbs of Chicago -- about 60 miles or so from Milwaukee. We ventured out for dinner and found a great sushi place. Huge! With five sushi chefs!
