Mid West - (Kentucky,Iowa,Illinois,Indiana,Ohio & Wisoconsin)

This is one hell of a trip(in both senses) as there were lot of trvelling and lot of new places to see..This was during the ThanksGiving Weekend - 2005 and we set about driving our way through the entire Mid-West. We started our trip on Wednesday Nov 23. We drove till Cedar Falls, IOWA and stayed in the AmericINN. That is probably one of the best hotels I stayed in ..and had a big spread of continental breakfast. Saw for the first time people making Waffles.

Next day we drove,drove & drove towards Kentucky...it was a long and hard drive and we went and stayed at LouisVille planning to do our thanksgiving shopping there. But all our calculation went wrong as we have moved to a different time zone on the way and we were late for the shopping.

Then the drive took us towards Kentucky where I got my first and till 2009 my only Speeding ticket. I saw quite a few cop cars and was going near the speed limit once I passed them I figured that seeing so many Cop cars already there will not be any more after that...I was proved wrong and stopped my a cop who seemed really experienced...though he gave a ticket he was pretty warm to us and gave some advise on places to visit and advised us to slow down.

Then we visited some of the large underground caves and few other attractions. I could not recollect lot of this as this blog was written after a long time after the trip. Hope I have more info in the next blogs....
