Effingham!

We decided  to   break up our leisurely  pace of driving  to 300 miles max.  We screwed  around getting  out of  Chicago.  I   suppose  we both  assumed that  one of   us knew  key information.  Sadly, we were wrong  and we had to backtrack  causing  us to loose our patience  with  each other.

We drove  to Effingham about  150 miles from  the Land between  the lakes in Kentucky.  I've  been  to Effingham  before  fishing.  My memory  is  of a forgettable  town, rather sleepy.  It isn't.

Unfortunately  we stayed  in  a Days Inn, but dinner  was something  to blog about.  Ilze noticed the Firefly  Grill.  The FG is an upscale restaurant,  think 2 Chicago stars.

Dinner  was Alberta Rye Whiskey, Fried Green Tomatoes  with elotes, Beef short rib Bao bun, and shrimp and pesto flat bread.  Absolutely  delicious  and a trigger  for  us to relax.
