If you go soon, you’ll see the cutest little ducklings. Be careful of mama and papa though – I got chased this afternoon while I was photographing the babies. lol

Hubs and I were driving around, looking for some photo ops, and suddenly J said, “I know where we can go!” and turned the car around. I asked him about twenty times where we were going (it was quite a drive from where we were staying), but he refused to tell me. It was a great surprise to arrive at this spot. Joel had seen it on my laptop the night before when I had been looking at local attractions to visit, and had quietly memorised the address. What a sweetheart, huh? =)
We met a friendly local and his dog, Jack, at the bridge. He was there cleaning the site up before he closed the gate for the night. He was very proud of his community’s local historic site, and told us that there used to be lots of covered bridges, but this was one of the last two left in the state. We asked why him why they had specifically built covered bridges back then, and apparently it was because the horses were scared to cross the bridge without the sides and roof. Something about the noise and motion of the water upset them.
It was a very interesting visit. I’m not sure it would have been as interesting without the guy who told us all the history about the place though. They might need to put up a sign with all the historical detail on it so that other people who go know what they’re looking at. If you’ve read this review, you now have a little background, and it’s definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area. ;)

J and I have been searching for a good Indian restaurant for a while now, and after trying two others first, (the first one we stopped at was vegetarian only – not an option for J; and the second one on the Garmin didn’t exist any more) we ended up at Madras Cafe this evening. We’re so glad we did. The food was delicious, and the staff were attentive, friendly, and super helpful. They had to explain to us what a few dishes were – and we didn’t ask, but we must have had huge question-marks on our faces, because they just offered up the information with big grins. We had a wonderful meal, and we’ll definitely be back next time the Indian food cravings hit.
