Cedar Point

We arrived in Cleveland, Ohio just before 11am and we had a few hours to kill before we could check into the condo at Sandusky, so Matt took us to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, via Cleveland's famous Free Stamp Sculpture. It was a quick run through of the premises before we hit the road west. We did not see Lady Gaga's meat dress.

We picked up the keys to the condo from some dodgy lady at the toll plaza, probably some ex KGB agent, and picked up Todd before finally arriving around 5pm at the condo. Sandusky Bikers Week was in full force, with leather-clad men and women on bikes everywhere. This is the real American experience! We chilled out for the night, playing some video games and drinking a few drinks before turning in for the big day ahead.

And what a day it was. Despite some awful nauseating experiences and deathly heat, the best rides were the award winning Millennium Force and the Dragster (check out the videos on YouTube!). It was an incredible weekend to spend with amazing people and though I wasn't feeling great the whole day, overall I had heaps of fun. Thank you to you awesome people for making this happen!

I suppose the other highlight to the day was finding a fabled Walmart and seeing exactly what the buzz about it was. They have everything there, even $200 guns, and the store was pretty busy at 11pm. It's madness. It's also huge. Though we did not see obese people in thongs or pajamas, we did catch a couple of anime convention goers in full costume. Oh America.

So currently in Chicago, the hotel doesn't have free wifi and Mat is egging me to finish blogging. It's only one more week until I'm back in New Zealand so it's time to cram all the fun into the final few days!
