Well, depending on work load, I just might take up Jim's offer. It is an easy Amtrak ride from Chicago to Minneapolis. That is beautiful country.
As for restaurant - I know there are some good choices in small town Midwest. There is just no comparing what you can find in Northern Cali. I did some riding in Sonoma a few years back. I would have to dig up my file to confirm the towns, but recall at least three different nights in podunk looking places that nevertheless had amazing little restaurants every bit as good or better than in Chicago hot spots. As for coffee, almost like travelling in Brasil - wherever I stopped, it was good. Get too far outside of the Midwest urban centers and coffee drinkers are pretty much divided among the let's go to Starbucks and the why would anyone pay more than a quarter for coffe crowd. The concept of independent roasters making quality joe has barely reached our hinterlands.
