A Frank Lloyd Wright Prarie House
After Ann Arbor I drove on to Chicago where I stayed with my Aunt Ellen and Uncle Ed. On my first full day there Ellen and I went into Park Forest to see the Frank Lloyd Wright house and studio, and many of his early Prarie homes.

This is the new counter top I helped my uncle Ed install. It was a lot easier than it looks.

Chicago Cousins
On my second day in Chicago Paul flew out from Boston to join me on the rest of my journey. On my third day in Chicago we went and visited some cousins. These are their kids.

Rock & Roll Museum
After Chicago Paul and I drove to Cleveland, where his mom was having surgery. One day while she was recovering in the hospital, Paul, his brother David and I went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. They did not let me take pictures inside.

Rock and Roll Museum
We closed out the museum (it was great) and then visited the gift shop where we bought a teddy bear for Paul's mom Elizabeth (note the bear in the bag Paul is holding).
