Intercourse

Last weekend, my wife and I attended Matt and Jessica’s wedding. It was a perfect weekend for such an event. The sky was clear, the temperatures were in the 70s, and the humidity was low. The wedding took place at the Conewago Manor Inn and was followed with a reception at the Catacombs Restaurant in the cellars of Bube’s Brewery. Before dinner, we took a tour of the brewery. The tour guide told us that it was built before the Civil War and was part of the Underground Railroad. It’s the only brewery left in the country that has remained intact since the mid-1800s.
The day after the wedding we visited Pennsylvania Dutch Country in Lancaster County which has a large Amish population. We rode on a train on the Strasburg Rail Road and saw some beautiful farmland. Later that day we drove through some of the Amish cities such as Fertility, Blue Ball, and Bird-in-Hand then went through Intercourse to get to Paradise. It’s kind of ironic to have names like this for cities since the area is known for their religious conservatism.
