• Market fun

    When I got to PA I had looked up vegan options in the area and found a vegan bakery, though it didn't have a storefront. It said they would be selling at a market stand one weekend so we headed up to check it out! And the market was... disappointing. Like 8 stands only which...is not much. The few stands did have some nice things which was good. And we got all the cinnamon rolls and scones! Plus it was along the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail which looked really nice. It was pretty humid so we didn't walk that far along the trail, but there were lots of people riding bikes and walking along it (and the trail goes farther than I expected it would!).

    My mom had asked her one coworker for vegan restaurants he liked and he had listed one out near where this market that he said was his favorite so we decided to stop in for lunch. They had a really nice patio and as we were leaving they were setting up for some live music which would have been nice. It would have been perfect for hanging out and having some drinks. I got the avocado Reuben which was amazing! Really one of the best things I have eaten on this trip! I loved it so much! I definitely will have to try making it myself when I get home!

    After that we went downtown as I had seen some Lancaster T-shirts that I wanted to check out that I had seen from the car one day. In the area there was the small Heritage Press museum which I wandered through. Lots of old printing presses and there was a guy there printing some things and when I took a photo of the smaller ones he came over and asked which one was my favorite and I pointed out the biggest one was super cool. So then he let me print something on that one, the oldest one they have, telling me which levers to pull and things to turn which was fun! We then went over to another self inking one and I printed the red one with that! He put them both in a folder and told me not to touch them till tomorrow as the ink needs a lot of time to dry. It was super tiny, and I wasn't there for long, but the guy there was very friendly and you could tell he loved talking about this stuff. It was really fun and interesting I would definitely stop by again!

    We also went by Son's again and I got peach Italian ice and my mom had cherry! The cherry was so flavorful it was hard to taste the peach afterwards as it was a lighter flavor, but both were very tasty!
