Day 17: Vacay from my vacay

Today was a lazy break from my trip. It's the halfway point and I'm in my parents home for a few days, catching up with some friends (I hope) and eating at places from my childhood. First up was Golden's Deli. . Homemade Knishes, Dr. Browns soda and a black and white cookie. Golden's has a full...

Day 16, part 3: On my way "home"

New York is a very large state, yet, they insist on calling everything north or west of New York City "upstate." I lived for the first 18 years of my life in this state, but ventured upstate extremely rarely, and had never been to most o fit, including most of what I drove through today. The...

Day 16, part 2: Upstate

Elizabeth Abram cured my angry American woes. Liz and my sister Cara were best friends in High School. She is in her second year of Medical School in Buffalo, president of her class and just an all around impressive human being. I'm so glad that she emailed me to see if I was coming through...

Day 12: Illinois

I can't see everything in this trip and the past few days have pointed that out to me even more clearly. My original plan was to go North from Sioux Falls, SD into North Dakota, and then through Winnipeg, Canada on my way to my friends in Toronto, but the more I kept looking at the map, the...

Day 11: Pie

Wisconsin. Land of Norse and cows. How I love both. I started out my trip across Wisconsin in the tiny town of Osseo thanks to a sign on the freeway talking up Norkse Nooks, a restaurant and bakery. Norske is a multiple blue ribbon award winner for it's pies at the National Pie competition. I...

Day 11 part 2: CHEESE

If you thought the moon was made of cheese, you'd be wrong. Wisconsin is made of cheese. I visited a cheese factory in Mauston Wisconsin and bought a 4 year old cheddar, a wedge of Sheep's milk Truffle cheese and the ultimate in Wisconsin cheese: Cheese curds. Also known as Squeeky Cheese...

Day 10: World's Third Largest

It's been two days since I last had a wireless connection for my computer yet so much has happened. Up until I hit Minnesota I had 2 nights and a day in each place I hit. From here until Toronto on the 13th I only have a night and half a day in each stop, so I've had to choose more selectively...
