'I've never seen one of those before'

We woke up bright and early and hit the I90 once more..to backtrack along our steps.
We'd heard of an Amish cluster of villages that were sort of on the way to Indianapolis and we wanted to check them out.
A few hours (and an easy GPS fueled ride) later we arrived in Shipshewana and headed for the flea market. This turned out to be a bit of a disappointment as it sold mostly horrific things that wouldn't be too out of place in the back end of Wimborne Market.
We did play a game or two of 'spot the Amish', which wasn't too difficult as they were wearing bonnets, dresses, and were riding 'buggies' (horse and carts). There were even buggy parking spaces!
Shipshewana also had some shops, a couple of which were interesting...many of which, weren't.
A bit of a disappointment really, but we'd have kicked ourselves if we hadn't gone, as it looked pretty amazing in the leaflets!
We bought some sausage and olive bread and were on our way!

We arrived in Indianapolis a little early and decided to pay Taco Bell a visit. We asked a local for some advice, as we'd never ventured into such a place before.
Her little boy (aged about 7) turned around with shock at our voices, and remarked 'I've never seen one of those before, only on the TV!' -talking about English people- US!
He continued to be amazed when we explained that we'd never eaten at Taco Bell and we wanted to know what was best!!

We ordered something off of the menu, not sure what. It was edible but nothing to write home about (oops). Then we headed off to Gabi's house (which we found easily with the help of our GPS!).

We were met by Gabi, her mum, and their very enthusiastic dog, Panda (who decided the best greeting would be to cover us in as much slobber as possible!). The mum's settled in for the night and Gabi and I hit downton Indianapolis.

We ventured into a bar for $1 well drinks ($1 = 65p!!!) and I discovered a definite new beverage of choice! Amaretto and Sours!! Yum! Gabi was chatted up by a boy with a watch on his head, we made friends with a man who enjoyed Vodka +Tonic, spent at least $5 (£3) on drinks, and then headed out for a tour of the bars/clubs/pubs/shisha bars and backstreet alleys.
Indianapolis seemed like a great place to spend a night on the town, but we were feeling a yearning for double cheeseburgers and Walmart. We paid the shops a latenight visit and headed back for a sleepover!
