Journal Entry:
I spent the morning at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. The memorial is impressive, but there were way to many people. I'm afraid the summer crowds are starting...

Pretty much spent the rest of the day driving. When I got to Jolliett, IL (the prison in The Blues Brothers), to look up Annett's phone number. Called her, got her machine, gave up was heading for the hostel, when she called. So I got to stay with Annette. We got "Chicago Style" pizza. It was good, but honestly the pizza was better in NYC.
