Indiana Jones and the Amish…July 27, 2015

We loaded the car and headed south to the Amish Country of Indiana.  Small communities along the upper portion of Indiana on country roads.  We first went to Shipshewana and it was a beautiful little town with everything Amish.  It had buggy’s, bicycles, flowers, shops, bakeries and lots of other shops.  Debbie had some specific things she was looking for and found all but one of them while we were going from store to store.  We had a great time looking at everything in the meat and cheese store too.  They had many things like ring bologna that I used to get when I lived in Pennsylvania.  The Amish would come to a place called Booth’s Corner on Friday and Saturdays to sell their meats, cheese and baked goods.  I took Debbie there when we went to New Jersey and she bought so much stuff and took it home with her.  I would have bought many more things if I had a way to get them home.  It was really fun.  We did drive to Middlebury next and went through some shops there but nothing after our first stop would measure up.  We spent some time getting lost in other places and by the time we gave up and started to head to our final stop over for the night we realized we were only an hour from Fort Wayne.  We decided to go on to Indianapolis and did some quick changes to our reservations and found a hotel.  We pulled into the parking lot at the Hampton Inn at 5:30 PM…yay.  No real driving tomorrow which is good.  I need to reorganize the things I bought since I will be flying home on Wednesday.  We are both whipped tonight and we are going to relax and get a good night’s sleep.  Day eleven is in the books and the last day is coming up tomorrow.
