Day2 - afternoon

7/14/18 1:38p Indiana state line I-80 Illinois and Central Time zone.   Friends 😀😀 Beth and I are long friends - she was one of my bridesmaids and a college suite mate.  So good to see her and her wonderful family again!  We had dinner at the Mongolian Grill then went to a Bass Pro Shop to see the fish. Wisconsin and 10:40pm. Now to park and sleep!  It has been a long, but good day. Oh - for those praying for Zeke, thank you.  He is steadily improving and the swelling is going down! Question of the day:  If Notre Dame Cathedral is in Paris and Cervantes was French, why is the University of Notre Dame the Fighting Irish?  (Thank you Thad for helping me with this little history puzzle!!)
