Lansing, Michigan to Albert Lea, Minnesota

Lots of miles today and late getting off the road, but we are once again west of the Mississippi and that's the appropriate river bank for us. Sight seeing is no longer a goal. We are headed for home.

The highlight of our day was lunch in Wheaton, Illinois with Ram and Rani Ramaswamy. Rani treated us to crispy hot dosai with chutney and sambar. Delicious! The dosai is similar to a crepe, but thinner and more savory. We were honored to enjoy Rani's cooking. While we were together, the four of us gathered in front of the computer and visited with Vivek and Sophia via webcam. This is the first time all four grandparents have been together since Sophia was born and we all oohed and aahed  in unison over our darling baby. Thank you to Vivek's mom and dad for being such gracious hosts.
