I heart Intercourse (Pennsylvania)

I had no idea I’ve been living only a couple hours away from one of the most fascinating states in the country…PENNSYLVANIA!

Of course, my favorite part of Pennsylvania is Amish country.

For such a pious bunch of folks, they have some interesting town names like Blue Ball, Fertility, Intercouse, Virginityville.

Bird-In-Hand is my favorite town name, especially when it’s used to name the most boring businesses.

A pretzel factory is way more hilarious when it has the word Intercourse attached to it…and soft or hard

I came across this cute little store in Intercourse. I was dying to know what “Amish Stuff” they sold.

They carried the most hilarious books too.

I couldn’t take myself seriously in this hat,

so I got a more fitting one for me.

I went to the restroom before leaving, and almost went to the wrong one. The black hat got me all turned around for a minute.

After an exhausting hour of not buying anything (except the dirt cheap trucker’s hat), I needed some food.

Amish BBQ was definately tempting

But ice cream from a place that has a giant Amish man pushing two glutonous pigs was way more appealing

Dora had a hard time making conversation with the pigs, but had fun nonetheless
