Home of the Great Pumpkin…
Jan decided she wanted to eat at Das Essenhaus again so we headed over to Middlebury, only to find out that it was closed on Sunday.
Bummer!
Our GPS showed a number of other restaurants down the road in Shipshewana, about 7 miles away, only to find that every restaurant we tried was also closed.
Double Bummer!
We saw a lot of Amish carriages along the way, so maybe that was why all the restaurants were closed.
Anyway, we ended up making a big loop out into the country. A nice drive, but we were starting to get hungry.
When I mentioned to Jan that our big loop was taking us right back by El Maguey, the Mexican restaurant we had eaten at with Nick and Terry last night.
So what was good for dinner is good for lunch right? And it was, too!
After lunch we headed back down a country road to get some pictures of a pumpkin patch we’d seen last week.
We also went by the American Countryside Farmers Market and found it also closed. Check the web when we got home we found it’s only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We’ll go back then.
Coming home we stopped off at Menard’s and Big K looking for some small plastic containers.
Finding those we went next door to Martin’s, a local supermarket chain to get some Honey Crisp apples that Nick and Terry had recommended.
On our way out of the store, we got Pumpkin Latte at Starbucks. We decided we like Starbuck’s Pumpkin Latte better than Dunkin’ Donuts, which is good, because the Starbuck’s is much closer.
A few minutes later we were back home at the rig.
And then after we got back I went over to Nick’s to give him a couple of spare hitch pins that I had, but they didn’t fit his tow bar, so he couldn’t use them.
