Microtel Cleveland/Streetsboro

... better than that of LSU.

Getting back on the road, we stopped in Cleveland to check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The building was impressive, but the City was not. The displays were nice, but we weren't real R&R fans. There were lots of displays of old musical equipment used by the legends of R&R.

Back to the road.

... back...not to mention it'll be good to have a week to speak some Spanish. Along with seeing friends and going back to the church I worked in, I plan to spend a morning at the orphanage to see all the babies I fell in love with over the summer! (I still wish so badly that I could bring them home, but since I can't, I'll just visit...)

I'm excited. I can't wait to see familiar faces. God is good! It is purely His doing that I can go back!

... een uur of 11 geslapen. Uiteindelijk kwam de Greyhound rond 6 uur al aan, wat mij een uur extra slapen gaf.

Waar ik in Madison Square Garden mooie zitplaatsen had (hoog in het stadium, en voor de kenners: aan de kant van Steven Van Zandt), had ik in Cleveland dus besloten om voor een staanplaats te gaan (in de VS heet dit GA, ofwel, General Admission). Vroegah.... bij mijn eerste concert, was het nog een ren-je-rot-actie: oftewel, deuren ...

... talented)...but despite the wonderfully creative food, the American Modern Palate Restaurant gets an epic fail in terms of service. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and write it off as opening kinks, but still that's about the most positive thought I can come up.

I can only hope, with 7-8 similar hours for 6 more days in the car that proceeding posts aim to be as brilliant as this one.

xo.

A week in Cleveland and Ohio showed a quite beautiful area. While the city is not planned, there is a good road system, with lots of freeways, and quite easy to get around. Downtown Cleveland is not huge, but there are some skycrapers and an arena, and two huge stadiums as well as a Science Centre and the ...

... hub of arts and culture ranging from outdoor activities to professional sports to the arts and humanities. Regardless of personal tastes, there is a winter activity that can be a pleasant diversion to every family member on nearly every day of the week. Here are some great activities:

... on 33,000 acres and is the third most visited national park in the country.

There are over 125 miles of hiking trails in the CNVP. The three most popular are: Bradywine Falls, The Ledges, and Oak Hills. The American Hiking Association has named a portion of the trail as one of the top ten in the country.

In addition, there are over 73 miles of biking trails in the CVNP. You can bike one way and return by train using the CVSR's Bike Aboard Service. Reference attached pictures.

We returned to Betsy's parents house from our time in Mexico. After throwing a few more things away - we took off in our car on a road trip to Cindy Snow's wedding in Arkansas. We visited our friends Bill and Chuck in Cincinnati, then we followed the Ohio river to the Mississipi. We stopped at some small towns along the way like Metropolis (the home of superman).

We left Florida and drove to Berea via Winston Salem so we could visit Jed and Cecilie (Peter's nephew). When we arrived in Berea we spent the month of March getting Betsy's parents house ready to put on the market. The house market in Cleveland is horrible so we thought we better try to sell the house as soon as possible so they would be ready to move into their new retirement apartment in Chagrin Falls when is was completed in the fall.

... The program order was adjusted from the Toronto and Chautauqua concert so that half an hour of the second half could be taped for the broadcast along with announcer Lloyd Newell’s Spoken Word message. It was a challenge for the audience to sit on their hands and avoid applause, especially for such rousing selections as “Bound for the Promised Land,” “Cindy,” and “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” But finally, after the broadcast ...
