On our mini-getaway, Cindy and I stopped first in Lititz, PA where we found the delightful Cafe Chocolate where I had
a chocolate/peanut butter/banana panini. Plus a drink called a Turbo (chocolate and espresso). Good stuff!
Although much of it appears in galleries, many of the shops in and around Lititz and Lancaster feature some outstanding works of art. Unfortunately most of the galleries would not allow photography, but did provide literature with links to art on their websites. As far as art goes, all the locals told us to come back on any first Friday, when Lancaster is packed with art, artists and art lovers.
Here's an art lover right here.
All along the neighborhoods we encountered some interesting and/or spooky local art---
This is my personal favorite.
Cindy and I even got to make our own pretzels at the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery. Mine turned out pretty good, don't you think?
And what trip would be complete without a stop at a couple of local independent bookstores?
Cindy and I highly recommend a stay at the Lancaster Arts Hotel, which features some amazing paintings, sculpture, carvings and more (all of which you can purchase).
This beer sampler didn't last long...
Neither did these donuts from The Fractured Prune...
With all this eating, drinking and art, sometimes your best option is just to sit down and take it all in.
