We drove over to Amana colonies I’m parked at the old train depot. The Amana colonies was settled in 1843 by two German brothers, escaping German persecution and looking for religious freedom. It was a communal colony where the people worked together with farming and everyday life. There were 55 kitchens in the community where people could eat their meals. Today it’s a beautiful pristine Looking tourist area. The lawns are perfectly manicured and they’re beautiful flowers everywhere surrounding the brick homes. Our first stop was the chocolate house as any First stop should be. The chocolate was solely to fuel us with some energy for our bike ride. We had three truffles and they were absolutely delicious. I would say it with some of the best chocolate I’ve ever tasted. Our bike ride was about 5 1/2 to 6 miles long and it goes by the lake and all the different shops. We perused in the general store, the Christmas shop and two different Artist shops. We ate lunch at the Millhouse brewery where we had a citrus wheat beer each. I had a bratwurst with salad. Scotty had a schnitzel sandwich and we shared some cheese curds. It was a perfect day to sit outside to enjoy a perfect lunch.
