Now we were just south of Chicago, in a place called Kankakee, and having heard the rumours about Chicago, we were hesitant to go. But that was to happen tomorrow, today, we decided after the long drives we had had lately, we would have a day chilling at camp in the sun. A little lay in meant we were ready to go to the local Walmart around 12, we had a KFC for lunch and bought supplies for dinner, and some beers and some strawberry daiquiris for Marie, not a beer drinker despite her claims. The KFC was one I will not forget, because they didn't do chips!! Mash and a gravy, and a "biscuit" which for English people, is a scone. Then we returned to camp, did some laundry and also sunbathed, we built a campfire and made cheese and ham toasties before laying beside the camp fire with blankets. Marie kept looking into the smoke, which I told her not too. But she never listens. It was nice not to have to do any driving today, but looking forward to Chicago tomorrow.
