Day 10 Saint Joseph Michigan

POST ONE OF TWO:  What an interesting day.  I left the generic comfort of the Ramada Inn in Campaign Illinois and thought what a hoot it would be to travel to Chicago, turn off my GPS and get lost downtown.  Probably wasn't one of my more intelligent decisions.  I've never been honked at, yelled at and given the finger more in one hour than today,  The other drivers were mad at me because I wouldn't run pedestrians down,  Seriously.  I actually witnessed a bike rider run right into the side of a truck turning right.  (he was OK)  I actually flipped someone off.  It felt wonderful.  Made my whole damn day.  After I got my fill of huge buildings and rude, rude people, I turned my GPS back on.  Because of all of the construction and detours, it almost dumped me into Lake Michigan.  I decided to turn it off again and find my own way out.   Here are some pics:
First glimpse of /Chicago,.  Took this picture while driving,  I survived to show you this
