Strange But True

We brought out bikes and got in a couple nice rides this week in Amana. Amana and East Amana are connected by a path that winds past pasteurs, fields and Lily Lake. I have never seen so many "wild" rabbits. Surprisingly, hassenpfeffer is not on local menus although they serve German cuisine. Wed. am we spoke to a local lady while we were waiting to cross a highway. She asked where we were from. "Stillwater", was Jon's replay. Her face lit up and she said, "I used to live in Stillwater! " She told us she was originally from Austria, but first lived in Stillwater and worked at our Lowell Inn when coming to America in 1962. While working there, a local noticed her accent and offered to introduce her to a young man from Germany who lived in the area. They met and married shortly afterwards. It is a small world, but gets even smaller when you meet and greet people you meet.
