Day 2 - Chicago, IL - Springfield, IL

Before starting the route itself and a small sightseeing around Chicago, time for swimming at the hotel swimming pool...

And then, recharge energies at a Route 66 "must stop" for breakfast: Lou Mitchell's...

Chicago's landscapes:

Willis Tower

The beginning of the route...

Refreshing at Millennium Park...

The Bean

Let's Exercise

I want a playground like this 

Buckingham Fountain 

On The Road

A diner...

A petting zoo

Arriving at Joliet, IL and its many gas stations... After a stop at a prison for some pictures where we were asked if we want to go to jail (they were talking seriously and were not nice at all...)

Old Joliet Prison (The Blue Brothers was filmed here and it also appears in Prison Break)

Route 66 Museum

The first muffler man

An interesting drive-in with many figures...

Make your choice...

Classic cars show

Old restored gas stations...

Just Old Gas stations

Diner...

Old Route 66, now closed

An old gas station with an apartment on the first floor

When the road is closed, we take side roads...

And if it was earlier we could buy Maple Syrup...

Another Muffler Man, now in Atlanta, IL

Lincoln at Lincoln, IL

Last stop before arriving at Springfield...

Tomorrow is another day...
