In the middle of Amish Heartland.

We had an afternoon drive around the area - We knew (from the tourist brochures) that we were in Amish Country - but today we got to see it. We must have seen 50 buggies driving down the main highways.

We went to Das Dutchman Essenhaus (Middlebury, Indiana) for dinner. I enjoyed the slow cooked ribs and mashed potatoes - more than Lea enjoyed her meal. There wasn't that much vegetarian. But no real surprise there. We havent found much vegetarian anywhere to tell the truth, why our fast food consists of Taco Bell or Taco Bell as they have a 7 layer burrito. Anyway, Denny had 2 pieces of the pumpkin cake and ate a bit of everything else too. Madi repeatedly tried the noodles, which is good for her to taste something new - but she didnt really eat them.

We have heard there is another Amish style restaurant in Topeka - and their is a great kids playground just across the road so we will check that out soon too.

Started researching what new camper we should purchase. Checked out some Sunnybrooks at Middlebury, didnt have a bunkhouse at the dealer that we could see. We will go check out some other rv brands tomorrow. Have been reading on the forums about Fulltiming and voiding warranties so want to find out which brands are Ok and which arent.
