June 15 and 16, 2009 - we traveled through the Amish Quilt Gardens and throughout the Elkhart, Napanee, Goshen, Shipshewana, Topeka areas and more to observe the simple country lives of the Amish people who live there. Our initial goal was to see the many Amish Quilt Gardens planted for tourists, but we also did a lot of sightseeing. Of course we couldn't miss eating Amish country cooking. This time we bypassed the larger, better known restaurants and found a little Country cooking buffet in the heart of Napanee. Sorry I don't remember the name, but I know how to get there next time! It was great.

The Amish people don't like to have their pictures taken, so I don't have many people pictures.
