ARE WE THERE YET?

We bid adieu to South Bend. But before we do, we have to take a short tour of the Notre Dame campus. We never got to the South Bend Chocolate Co - a major disappointment. The campus is quite large, but also quite pretty and looks exactly like you would expect a major university to look (except for the cemetery that is on campus). A few representative shots:
A building (no we don't know which one - does it matter?): Statue and flowers (and way in the distance - the golden dome):

The famous Jesus mural that overlooks the football stadium:

The campus is not geared for driving, but we didn't have the time to walk around as we are still a ways away from home (719 miles/11 1/2 hours). So off we go. But wait, a question is in order. How many miles did we save by taking the shortcut through North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa?

The drive on I90 was as interminable as ever - it has to be one of the least interesting roads in the entire country. But we made it home and we're glad to be back.

We hope you have enjoyed the travelogue (stay tuned for tomorrow - never know what might happen), and to all a Good Night!
