Welcome to the club! I recommend the Kahler Hotel. It is a Rochester landmark. If you go out for a drive, Silver Lake in town is heated by the power plant and does not freeze. This is a rarity in Minnesota to say the least. There are usually great flocks if geese there.

Got some great news today. Now that I am married I switched to my wife's health insurance, so now the Mayo is IN NETWORK. This means my visit next week will only cost $25!!!!

There are several cafeterias on site due to large number of people working there. I liked one in the basement. Most of them focus on healthy food but you can get comfort food or junk food in the commercial sites nearby if you need. I like the ethnic places for a new dining experience when away from home.
