I drove from State College, PA to Evanston, IL last week (July 10). I went there so that I could drop Noi off at the airport for her flight back to Thailand. The drive took about 9 hours of driving plus 90 minutes of breaks. It was a pretty lengthy and boring, but I survived. By the time I got there, I was more than ready for dinner, shower, and a warm bed.

The next day was pretty much uneventful. We planned to go into Chicago, but didn’t go because it was raining almost all day. So we ended up watching Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest instead. The movie wasn’t bad, but I wish it actually ended in itself. Later that day, we went to a rose garden nearby and took several dozen of photos…
