Project 365 Day 136: Amish Maid-Rite

On our way down to Kansas City to see Conan O'Brien's music and comedy tour, we stopped in Lamoni, IA for lunch at a Maid-Rite restaurant. The sandwiches were as good as ever, and as a bonus, the building also connected to a gift shop which sold a lot of Amish goods. In the background of this photo you can see an array of many Amish baskets for sale.

The other memorable scene we saw a little earlier in the day was on I-35, where we ran into some traffic congestion as the traffic merged from two southbound lanes to one. A truck pulling a horse trailer must have had some technical difficulties because some highway patrol persons were directing traffic to merge while the truck passengers tried to get the horses, which were in the ditch at this point, back in the trailer. I'm not sure what happened, but whatever caused those horses to get out of the trailer was probably making them think, "I'm not getting back in that thing!"
