the big adventure today was to get to chicago and wrigley field... as i hit the road at 7:00, planning 5 1/2 hours to make the trip, i forgot that i gained an hour by crossing into the central time zone. soooo an opportunity to take in notre dame, the hallowed football stadium and the golden dome.
wrigley field... this has to be the most fan friendly park in america. the stadium, field and set up ARE outdated and definately are showing signs of wear and tear. big deal... you are so close to the action, most take mitt to their seats for shear protection, the bleacher bums are cool, the fans are completely behind their beloved cubbies, people watching is almost as much fun as the game... if they make the playoffs, this place will go nuts again.
as you look at the stadium shots can you tell which outfield stands are part of the stadium and which are ACROSS THE STREET. love the ivy, the bricks and old school feel.
i couldn't wait to join 30k+ of my closest friends stand and sing, "take me out to the ball game," and was not disappointed. griffey got 3 hits, the cubbies 12 runs and 20 hits. hey hey, cubbies win, cubbies win.

yet another baseball game, it sounds as though you could never tire of watching baseball. do the hotdogs taste different at each stadium? do they all write the names of their team in mustard? these are all the important things i think about :) can't wait to read what's next.
Ron,
I have followed your entire trip with great anticipation of what will come next. Thanks for sharing your experiences on this blog it has been a joy to read. Sometime in the distant future I hope to take a trip similar to the one you are on.
