Dear Ohio,
Thank you for an exceptional beginning to my road trip. Toledo was full of kind and welcoming people, like these cats!
We watched live music, danced, and I left my debit card at a bar that is closed on Sunday. No worries though. I really had nowhere else to be in a hurry, so I camped out for the weekend. I had a relaxing time exploring the Maumee River, and cooked up a few meals with these guys.
For dinner I looked for the most interesting colorful local bar that I could find. Before I could sit down, a gentleman declared that there was a newbie in the bar. My instinctual fear as an outsider was immediately relieved when another gentleman bought my first drink! It was a gay bar, Mojo's, and Chef Darrell made sure that I knew it was the best spot in town. He cooked up a mean burger, and invited me to come back for another if I'm ever in Toledo. I'd be happy to return. For now, I'm off to my next spot. I'll let you know when I find out what it'll be.
