Chicago!!

We rode past 139 miles of corn and soy beans today. We're pretty zonked out. The ride was almonst 10 hours long, and I feel like I have a bicycle seat permanently attached to my rear end. whew . . .

In every direction we saw massive agricultural farms. In fact a sign declared our location as, "The Belt of the Corn Buckle."



We finished at the Schlitz family home in Chicago. Conner (3) is being treated for leukemia at Advocate Hope Children's Hospital, where we will visit Thursday morning. He was just admitted to the hospital this morning for a fever, so we are hoping that our visit will give him a little extra energy :)

This is Lexy's parents from Chicago. We would like to thank-you for your good deed. It is nice to know that there is so much support for children's serious illnesses. I must say that there is hope and Lexy just got her port removed this week. We look forward to many healthy summers and I will pray for all the children who are going through the hard intense treatments. Conner we are thinking of you and maybe we will run into each other at the hospital. Love Lexy, Carlos, Jackie and Justin.
