Starbucks - Woodstock, IL

This Starbucks is in Woodstock's town square.  The same square where Groundhog Day was filmed (but I was there the day after Groundhog Day - oops).  My owner finished reading 1Q84 here - but he had to switch seats twice due to loud patrons.  Some young HS girls who were waiting for their movie to start (One for the Money - note there is a cinema on the other side of the square) were pestering one of the guys in there - asking if he was a cop.  Eventually another guy told them to stop, claiming to be the owner's brother.




Starbucks #7 for Ollie!

Road trip to Wisconsin


I've been in a car a lot of times, remember the 150K pictures?  But today was my first road trip - for the purpose of having a road trip.  We drove from northern IL up into southern WI, ending at Mt. Horeb.  I saw a lot of different things, including some trolls (visit the trollway online) and a place called Dick's Meats.  We ate at Schuberts in Mt. Horeb and had dessert in New Glarus.  Now I'm glad that I made it a goal to travel, this was fun!
