135 miles in a day deserves a day off, right?
Well, we took one anyway. We thought we would just hang out in the coffee shop and work on the zine for a while, then head to Sioux City, but seven hours later we were still in the coffee shop. At least I was. Amanda got a haircut, did some other stuff. Since it was a short ride to Sioux City and we couldn't pick up the rental car until noon, we figured there was no harm done hanging out.
Vermillion is a great little town. Home of the University of South Dakota and only 9700 or so people. So, it has both college town and small town charm. The coffee shop that we lived in for a day is the Coffee Shop Gallery. It's on main street in Vermillion and comes highly recommended. The coffee was great, as was the food, and nobody gave us sideways glances for camping out all day. One of the baristas also referred to me as his bearded brother.
After tearing ourselves away from the coffee shop we gathered the necessities for a picnic (cheese, fruit, bottle of wine, peanut butter brownies) and headed back to the park where we drank wine and relaxed for the remainder of the day.
Vermillion...South Dakota turns on the charm, again.
