August 9th: Michigan, Indiana og Illinois

Theme songs for the day: "Material Girl" by Madonna and "Rain down love" by Freemasons

Ready to hit the road in our borrowed car :)
Luckily UC was feeling a lot better this morning, and we hit the road at 10 o'clock to go shopping at Woodfield Mall right outside of Chicago. The drive there was rainy, my first day of rain while driving. It was kinda scary, I have to say.

We arrived at the mall at 12:00 Illinois time, and stayed till 19:00. And a lot of money changed hands in that time :) We went shopping-crazy and had a lot of fun at Victoria's Secret, Urban Outfitters, Abercrombie and Fitch etc.
Here is a picture of all our bags with our new stuff in it, we are so happy:

We had lunch at Rainforest Cafe (Siri: I had my first Caesar Salad, and now I understand why you like it so much!) alongside baboons, fish and butterflies. There was even a thunderstorm..that part reminded us a lot of YaYas in Oslo.

When we were done shopping (or rather: when we had to leave the mall) UC took the wheel and drove from Chicago to West Lafayette, Indiana. On our way here we suddenly saw, in the middle of nowhere, a bunch of red lights blinking. From a distance it looked like an airport, but as we came closer we saw that it was actually windmills. It was the strangest thing, many miles of nothing but blinking red lights. As we drove past that we realized it was time to get to bed and we found a motel and it has free internet! I like it :) So now we're gonna go to sleep soon and tomorrow we'll drive to Nashville, hopefully we'll be there early afternoon.

Have a great day! (And feel free to comment on our posts, it makes ut happy..hehe!)
