In the book Notes From A Small Island he refers to the size of The Lake District in England, and says 'The Lake District itself takes up less space than the Twin Cities'.
What does he mean by 'the Twin Cities'?

Probably the St. Paul and Minneapolis Twin Cities-- they're among the most famous. And since Bryson was born in Iowa, near Minnesota, it'd be a natural reference point for him.

PS I love reading Bill Bryson! I think In a Sunburned Country is my favorite, though A Walk in the Woods was also good. Haven't read his new biography yet, Thunderbolt Kid.
