I had read about the Central Market in one of the tour books and wanted to see what they had to offer. We found the building and started walking up one row and down another. They had all kinds of meats, vegetables, cheeses and bakery items. We bought some fresh chipped beef, some cookies and three herb plants. It was fun to see all the homemade items too.

We took our stuff home and then Al and Barbara picked us up to take us out to lunch at the El Serrano Mexican Restaurant. The restaurant was beautiful and the food was terrific. After lunch, they took us to see one of the covered bridges. I had been wanting to see one before we left Pennsylvania. Al was so patient and insisted that we take a picture from each side of the bridge. We really enjoyed their company and look forward to seeing them again next year for another Mexican caravan.

Well, today was Larry’s birthday. We had breakfast and went for a walk. By the time we got back after our walk, the rain started coming down. We were under a Tornado watch all day. We got caught up on some of our inside work and enjoyed just sitting at home. Just before we went to dinner, I gave Larry his present, a gold bracelet. He was very surprised and seemed really pleased with it. Later, we went to a very nice restaurant and had a wonderful dinner. It was a nice day and evening.
