Amana Weekend

We spent the last two days bicycling through the Amana Villages, shopping in the boutiques

and talking to the locals. They still make many of their products the same way they did in 1855 when they moved here from Germany and setup the colonies.

We attended a wine tasting, bought a few bottles, picked up some sandwiches and had a nice picnic. We learned how they worked the looms at the Woolen Mill and bought a couple of scarfs and visited the Amana Museum. Stocked up at the Meat Shop and Smokehaus.

We we've been blessed with the best weather! In the evenings we relaxed outside watching sports on TV.
