The last two days have so very HOT!

We have been in Hermann, MO for the last two days.  We thought being in the hills would be cooler - WRONG!

In town, we visited some of our favorite old spots and found some new. A great place is on 1st street, Hermann Wurst Haus.  We were treated to samples of their homemade brats and sausages.  A couple of their flavors were Smoked Apple Maple Sausage, Cheddar Brat, and much much more.  Lunch there was great.  Great place to shop too.  All kinds of mixes, jellys, etc.

Of course after a wonderful meal, guess what we found?!  Custard Concretes!  Yum

 



In search of Antonella's Pepperoni Marinara Cheese that we purchased last visit, we drove 12 miles south to Swiss, MO

They had some wonderful sausages, made in house, cheeses, etc. but alas - not PMCheese.  They too had hot samples of a wide variety of brats and sausages.  The special was buy 4 packages, get one free.  Had to get them and Lexi a smoked pig's ear.



No visit would be complete without going to Stone Hill Winery.  Oh my, guess we will have to sample more wine!  Good as always.  They had sale of 1/3 off unopened cases so we "needed" a case of Cross J.  Being hot and tired we went back and hybernated in the coach for the rest of the evening.

Today we went back into town (we are staying in Lazy Day campground out by the highway) and visited Adam Puchta winery and did another wine tasting.  We came away with more great wine and a bagette.  Lunch was at Stone Hill winery and then to Hermannhof Winery for some white wine and cheese.  We then made a quick stop at Ricky's Chocolate Box.  The selection of hand made candies is remarkable.  We each picked out a couple of pieces for later.  Again it was so hot we went back to the coach for a cool easy evening.

All in all, it was a very successful shopping excursion.

Tomorrow we head to Injun Joe's campground near Hannibal where we will stay for about 4-5 days.
