After a rather uneventful coffee day yesterday, with easy access to my Starbucks fix on the Pennsylvania and Ohio turnpikes, we are finding Starbucks a bit more elusive between western Ohio and Indiana. We have passed rest areas with Gloria Jean’s coffee, and while I’m sure ol’ Gloria knows quite a bit about coffee, she’s not Starbucks. We saw Bigger’s coffee, but as we all know, Bigger is not necessarily better.
The one place at which I was tempted to stop was Tim Hortons. I don’t even know if Tim Horton would know what a latte is, but they had a commercial running for blueberry doughnuts. I love blueberries baked into anything, and the blueberry bloom doughnut looked like a little blue slice of heaven! I may have to stop at a Tim Hortons before the end of this trip.
So the journey to my coffee Mecca continued through about half of Indiana, when finally, there was a Starbucks in a rest stop. Enjoying my latte as I type, wondering where I might get my fix on the long trip home through some of the desert states….
