Amana, Iowa Oktoberfest and more!















We drove from Worthington to Amana, Iowa on September 30. It was a 314 mile, six hour trip and we arrived about 5:30. We registered at the Amana RV campground (huge!) and spent the evening perusing the brochures we were given. We're staying until Tuesday -- maybe longer.

We decided to have an apple strudel for breakfast from Hahn's Bakery in Middle Amana and then went walking in the town of Amana. We visited an antique shop -- kids, don't sell any of my glassware without getting it appraised! I saw stuff I'm still using going for good prices! We visited many shops, but in the leather shop I found a purse I liked. Ate lunch in a cafe and then went to the Heritage museum where we spent a couple hours. Stopped at the meat shop and picked up some brots and summer sausage; the winery where I got some great plum wine :-) and then went to the Festhaus to listen to the Oktoberfest band and ate a great meal of brots, hot German potato salad, and cherry strudel.

It was beautiful today, and we were able to walk about without jackets or sweaters. Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be in the 40's! BRRRRR!!!!
