day 1

I planned a shorter starting day compared to the last trip, 90 miles vs. 560 miles.  After saying goodbye to aLex, Seamus and Blanca, I headed off to my first stop, Comet Cafe in Milwaukee.  Since that was my first stop last trip, I thought it would be good luck to do the same on this trip.  As I hve done the Chicago-Milwaukee trip several times, it was uneventful, except for the surprising coolness by the lake near downtown Milwaukee.  After a quick snack and chatting with Adam, I headed to my final stop, his sister Val's place, where his other sister Robyn was hosting a Memorial Day barbeque.  I wasn't expecting to see Val, but she cut her own trip short and ended up being there.  It was good to catch up with all of them, as well as their family and friends.
