Day 2 Des Moines, IAWe begin our morning with a tour of the Amana Colonies. The seven villages of the Amana Colonies offers the opportunity to step back from today’s busy pace, to relish in the comfort of locally crafted foods, furniture, art and more. The Colonies offer a unique history and culture found nowhere else in the world. For eighty years the Colonies maintained an almost completely self-sufficient local economy, importing very little from the wider, industrializing U.S. economy. The Amanians were able to achieve this independence and life style by adhering to the specialized handcrafts and farming occupations which they had brought with them from Germany.

Our tour includes stops at the basket maker, the bakery, the winery, cheese house and more. We will allow some time to shop and browse the area after an included lunch at the Ox Yoke Inn, a four generation family restaurant, featuring traditional meals made from timeless Old World German and American recipes passed down from mother to daughter. Afterwards, we head to Des Moines, where we will overnight. (B, L)

Upon arrival, we will be joined by a local guide for a tour of Pella.

We will see miles and miles of tulip lanes. After an included lunch, we will attend the a stage performance then the Volksparade. We will also visit the Historical Village.
