Well it started raining around 6:30 am. We decided to go ahead and head out for a bit anyway. First we went to breakfast at a local restaurant, called the Intercourse Village Restaurant. It is next to the Best Western hotel. It was OK but I wanted waffles and they didn't have them so I had french toast instead. I was given a piece of coffee cake as part of my meal but forgot to pick up the to go box when we left.
We walked around a bit and visited the Intercourse Canning Company and the Intercourse Pretzel Company.
These are both places we visited when we were here with the Donner gang. The pretzel factory seemed smaller than I remembered.
Did you know that Intercourse was originally called Cross Keys? The name was changed in 1814 as part of a failed real estate scheme. The name change made sense as intercourse had a common usage referring to the pleasant mutual fellowship and frequent intermingling which were so common in the informal atmosphere of the quiet country village.
After that we drove around a bit and stopped at a few more stores. We also located two covered bridges.
The first one is still in use but the second one is no longer in use. By this time it was starting to rain pretty good. We decided to head home as it was getting dark because of the clouds. Most of the streets here don't have lights so it is safer at home, and it was really, really raining. It rained most of the day, not letting up until late in the evening. Since there has been so much rain around the area lately there were flood warnings out. The campground was fine though.
So that was today. Oh yeah, we did stop at a market and I bought a whoopie pie. It was really good. Tomorrow we are going to go exploring some more. Bye for now.
