Willis Tower, Chicago

Hello fellow blog readers! Today me and Oskar reached Chicago, the last stop of the road! We figured we should wait a while with eating. If we'll starve ourselves for a while, we could eat just in time before boarding the plane, so that we won't starve to death on the long ride home. That lead us to visiting a landmark, the other thing that we're in great interest of. We decided that the Willis Tower would be the perfect place to visit, and that was one of our best decisions so far!

This building is magnificent. It's probably the most wonderful building I've ever seen. It's an odd skyscraper, due to the fact that it's black, and tall as hell which makes it an impossible sight to miss.

After seeing the magnificence of Willis Tower, we decided to go up there as well. Took some time to convince Oskar, due to his fear of heights. I finally convinced him though. We agreed that if I bought a cola for him in the reception he'd accompany me up.

When we reached the top, the view over Chicago took our breath away, and we noticed the road we've driven on all this way. I was going to take a picture, but at the moment I was supposed to click I dropped it on the building next to us and it broke in thousand of pieces.

After that we got kind off mad, so we just went straight down to the bottom and headed for the closest burger place. We both took a burger, just because we're in Chicago, ate it up quickly and headed for the airport.

Sitting on the plane writing this makes me a little bit more angry about the camera, so I think I'm going to stop writing now. Cheers to everyone who's followed us on this amazing journey!

Have a blast, sincerely, André Holsby and Oskar Knutsson.

Ted Drewe's delicious desserts, St. Louis, Missouri

Hello there, been a while! We've been busy lately, me and Oskar. Eating, sleeping and being lazy like always. We've taken a little break from posting, but we're back on track! We've seen things, done things and cruised on route 66, but nothing in comparison to this. Ted Drewe's Frozen Custard. It was the most delicious 

banana split I've ever eaten, and totally worth $5.50. Just look at it!

Oskar choose something different, but still delicious looking even though I saw him lick the rests from the corner of his mouth. He choose to have an ''All shook up''  an ice cream with mixed peanut butter cookies and bananas by the cost of $5.70. We weren't allowed to take a picture of the ice creams, so he couldn't catch a picture. However, I didn't know before it was too late, so I decided to post it anyways. 

We sat there for about 20 minutes eating, then 1 hour just enjoying the aftertaste of these delicious desserts. 

In comparison to Swedish desserts, this was much more filling, unhealthy and delicious. Food in the States is a whole lot better than in Sweden, at least for us since neither of us are overweight and we both love unhealthy food. 

After pounding those delicious desserts, we headed out on the road again. See you later, fellow blog followers!

Sitgreaves Pass. A quick picnic.

Continuing on the trip, riding on the wonderful road known as Route 66, after stopping by at that delicious steakhouse. We still couldn't stop thinking about food though! We stopped by an old General Store called Hackberry General Store.

We bought some subway sandwiches, some classic route 66 soda water, and a classic plaid picnic blanket, planning for a picnic. A guy in the store recommended us to stop by at Siltgreaves Pass, since it was a great landmark and had a great view over the mountains, and that's exactly what we did. 

We continued on the road and passed a couple of bikers screaming: Woo, motherf*ckers! In full speed. Me and Oskar decided to drive up to the top of the mountain and have our picnic up there, stupid as we are. So we drove up there, and right when we had taken out all of our sandwiches, taking the first bite, then suddenly the wind blew everything away. We laughed and jumped in the car, starving, hoping there will be a restaurant nearby. That's all for today, see you soon!
