Sundays are for rest ….

As we are in Amish country, Sundays are for rest and no shops open on a Sunday in any little townships close around where we are.

We decided to drive to Intercourse and walk the streets just to look around while it wasn’t busy and it was so nice just looking around the streets and the buildings.

We then went to Applebee’s for lunch before hitting the large outlet shopping mall. We stayed there for a little while but we really didn’t need anything and the prices weren’t that cheap when you did the conversion.

So back in the car heading towards a covered bridge I wanted to see only to realise it was the one we had seen yesterday.

Headed back to our room and looked at the map again and found another bridge so headed off to it. Beautiful drive seeing the sights however the roads around here aren’t really made for sightseeing as there is nowhere to pull over on the side of the road just to take the views in which is a real shame as there are some beautiful areas in the middle of nowhere that would make a beautiful photo. So it’s a quick point and shoot from the passenger seat which was Dave’s job today as I was driving.

After we got back to our room, I really needed a walk so headed off walking around our hotel area, wandering to the farm animals to spend some time with them, and a general look around the property.

All in all a great day was had, we will go back to Strasburg tomorrow as it looks like a beautiful little township and also might take a buggy ride.
