\"\"It\u2019s always easier to stay overnight offside the road in the van, if you are away from the big cities. You just drive to a rest area on the highway or to a national forest, park your van, climb in the back and just sleep. With my queen size\u00a0mattress and a cozy blanket I always slept until 9 or 10 a.m. But staying in a city is different: Lots of \u201cno camping<\/em>\u201d \u201cno overnight parking<\/em>\u201d or \u201cloading zone<\/em>\u201d signs. So I asked some couchsurfers very last minute.<\/p>\n

\"\"Luckily, Will (Phil ;-)) answered immediately. Although he had another request, he offered me a place to stay. He was one of the really friendly hosts. He helped me to find a free parking lot in Chicago and we went out for dinner after watching the world cup game Mexico vs. Argentina. The next day he had to get up pretty early for work but during his lunch break he guided me through half of Chicago. I went up the Hancock Tower to get a stunning view over Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyscrapers.<\/p>\n

I needed some maps for my way from Chicago to New York, so Will went to the AAA to get\u00a0 them. But the lady behind the\"\"\u00a0counter could not find his name in the member-database. But she found a Phil. \u201cI can be Phil \u2013 for five minutes!\u201d Will said with a big smile on his face and got the maps for me. Will went back to work and I made it through the rest of downtown. This night I wanted to check out one of the local delicacies: Chicago Pizza \u2013 a pizza with a thick dough \u2013 very tasty. But how to get there? The bus was just gone and in this neighborhood taxis were very rare. I started to walk until I slapt himself on his forehead. \u201cI am so stupid \u2013 I have the van!!\u201d I laughed. After two days in the middle of Chicago I totally forgot the van.<\/p>\n
