This morning I left the hotel and did the short walk to the train station. It was a beautiful day in Milwaukee. The train ride to Chicago was only 90 minutes, but they still managed to get there late.

I had a choice between walking 1.8 miles or doing a Lyft. the distance with a roller bag and backpack was a bit much but it was such a nice day. I decided to walk and stop at the Galway point for breakfast. I found a restaurant and put it into my gps. When I got to the address, I couldn’t find the restaurant, so I decided to continue on to the hotel and stop at the next restaurant I passed. Well, I didn’t pass one and got to my hotel. Fortunately, my room was ready.

Today was going to be a food day. My daughter, Helen, sent me the name of a pizza place she knew, and it was right next to the hotel. I sat at the bar and ordered a deep dish. I was a bit surprised when the bar tender said it would take 45 minutes. I nursed an excellent hard cider and then thoroughly enjoyed the pizza.

I went back to the hotel, took a nap, and then planned out tomorrow’s activities. Later on I went out for ice cream. It was right next to the pizza place.
