Two days in on the Journey

Well, the Bunny sent me an email two days into his journey, having stopped the first night at Springfield and the second at Rolla. Here is the email he sent:

Bish.
This is a truly amazing country.
We have finally managed to find a "restaurant" where you can eat as much steak as you like for $8.99, and believe it or not, but the food is edible.

So far, we have travelled from Chicago to Springfield Illinois approx 200 miles, and the weather was glorious. I now look like a hells angel version of rudolph.
Day two dawned cloudy, and provided us with ample opportunity to be drenched.
We drove almost 240 miles today, and thankfully the final 70 miles was actually dry.
We are now in Rolla in Misouri, and crossed the Mississippi before lunch.
We are actually quite lucky with our guide, he stops every 45 minutes for a food break, so you can imagine he is not exactly the thinnest individual, but I take the opportunities to find answers to the questions "do you have espresso" so far the most inventive answer I have had is "we can put some coffee in a cup, and add lots of sugar to make it an espresso". I am truly staggered as to how this country became the most powerful nation on earth.

Well the quest for espresso continues, perhaps I should change this blog to " the search for hits on routs 66". So far espress consumption since arrival in Chicago. 1 Espresso, and 10 paracetamol. Sad but true.
Have attached some photos from each day.

Clearly the Bunny knows there is caffeine in many paracetamol concoctions to help lift you after treating the pain. He sent some pictures as well, so I will add these. Except, try as i might I don't seem to be able to attach the pics. Sadly this will have to wait for another day.

In the meantime, while he has been gallivanting and is now in all probability in Oklahoma City, I have been attending a Management course. Not a moment too soon I hear from the assembled masses. When further word arrives, I will post it here.
