Day 3: Still in Ohio

I spent today in Ohio again, hanging out with Bryan and pretty much taking it easy before I hit the road again. In the morning we went to town over called Chagrin. Chagrin pretty much reminds me of a small Dover. It's a good thing I wasn't staying here too much longer because I'd start to miss the NH seacoast. The town was very quaint and a had a small water fall going through the middle, similar, but smaller, to Dover. We got some bagels then headed back to Bryan's house.

After a quick shower we headed back into the C-town to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The building is wicked cool. Bryan's dad said that from above it's supposed to look like a record player. Knowing that I was about to see what each part of the building and the area around was. There's a circular part of the building that juts out, which is the needle, and there's a large flag pole in the courtyard which is the spindle. Very cool. Walking up to doors there were huge lines. I wieghed my options and decided not go in. I figure I can see similar memobrialia in a Hard Rock Cafe.

So we walked around a little longer around the lake front then went to the Flats to get some lunch. The Flats used to be an area down by the river that had some restaurants and bars but was kind of run down. Now the Flats are just run down. We found a restuarant called Shooters which was alright. Big place right on the water. While we were eating a giant 100 yard barge got pulled by a tugboat down the narrow Cuyahoga River. After lunch we headed back to the Casa de Javorek.

Back at the house Bryan left for his softball doubleheader so I lounged around the back yard and went swimming a little bit. The rest of the day follows a similar trend. It was relaxing and peaceful and nice not to be rushing around (which the rest of the week will be like). A week from today I will be in Vegas, though, where I can empty out my car and continue to CA with a lighter load. Tomorrow: Chicago.
