-Woke up it was snowing.
-Lost shades in snow, will replace soon
-Met some great people at the Stop n Go gas station, one of the guys told me I inspired him (which I very hear often).
-Got a handful of car horns for encouragement which keeps me motivated.
-Walked through so much snow today. 
-Encountered a lot of snow plows. 
-Endurance was good today, no pain. 
-Wrapped feet in shopping bags (over socks) to prevent walking half the day with wet feet again. 
-Distance today was about 10 miles I believe, so I took it easy. 
-Once I reached the Lodi Hotel they had no vacancies unfortunately.  
-Visited the local Subway restaurant and had a great sandwich made by Malissa who's a college student studying accounting.  
-Then proceeded to walk 3 miles to the closet hotel, The Plaza Motel (shown in the photo). 
-In bed now listening to some Fela inspired music on Pandora.

This is the food supply I started off with. It was way too much food to carry when there are stores everywhere.

Anne is the ultimate host that exceeds expectations. I was expecting to stay two humble nights and relax my body, because I am walking the country, no... didn't happen. Those two nights turned into a full week after she totally exposed me to all the city of Cleveland had to offer and more!

Art galleries, museums, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, music events, photoshoots, restaurants, shopping, and more. She is a very loving, caring, passionate person, and the reason I will return to Cleveland!

Anne gets two BIG thumbs up!!!

This my good friend Brother John, who's also on the level. I met John in a outdoor store and was in dire need to replace some heavy gear that was killing me weight-wise.

He put aside what he was doing and assisted me until I picked out all the gear I needed and answered all my questions. I truly appreciated his level of customer service!

Even though it is now Day 36 and I'm two states away we're still in contact with one another, John is truly a great person to know!

I love oatmeal and that exactly what Chelsea's mother served me the next morning, Gangnam-style!
