Columbus to Cleveland

Linda and I reached Cleveland this afternoon. We started from Columbus around 11 am, a little bit later than we had planned. We would have visited Bunty one more time if we had more time. After our slow start, and after my usual morning frantic search for the nearest Starbucks shop, we finally hit Interstate 71.

The drive from Columbus to Cleveland was very pleasant. The weather was excellent, the first sunny and warm day on our trip. The humidity was also quite low. To make matters even better, the traffic was very light all the way into the heart of Cleveland. I couldn't have asked for better driving conditions. We reached Cleveland at around 2 pm.

The Case Western Reserve Historical Society museum was our first stop in Cleveland. We saw an exhibit on American cars. Some of the old steam cars on display were quite interesting. I didn't know that they had experimented on steam cars. I also liked the display on GM Corvair. We took a walking tour of a historical home that belonged to a wealthy industrialist in Cleveland at the beginning of the 20th century.

We left the museum late in the afternoon and started looking for a hotel. We decided to check into yet another Patel motel in one of Cleveland's south western suburbs. The last sightseeing thing we did was visit the downtown lake front park. This park wasn't as beautiful as the park by Milwaukee, but at least it was free. After driving around downtown for a while, Linda and I decided to go back to our hotel.
