Grabill, IN, a small Amish community - less than the size of our hometown - is just about 15 minutes northeast of Fort Wayne. We decided that would be our "getaway" for the afternoon. Unfortunately, we didn't account for the fact that it was Sunday, and the Amish don't work on Sunday; so everything was closed. It was still a neat little town, filled with shops that I would have loved to visit!!
An Amish family, in their horse drawn buggy, going down the side of the highway just outside Grabill. The buggies here are open, unlike the enclosed buggies of the Pennsylvania Amish. Not quite sure how these folks deal with the winter snows!
The Cathedral of Fort Wayne
St. Patrick's Catholic Church....
St. Peter's Catholic Church, with the steeple seeming to reach for the clouds.
Not sure which church this was, but the scene was so beautiful, I couldn't resiste the urge to take the photo.
The folks in Fort Wayne must be among the healthiest, in the nation.....they are forever walking, jogging, or riding bicycles. I have seen more bicyclist here than any place ....other than Amsterdam!
Tomorrow.....the library!!
I live in Fort Wayne Indiana! many beautiful churches here for sure! I am a Catholic and go to the Cathederal! such a nice church! the church in the last photo I believe is Saint Paul's Lutheran.
