Pretzels and Chocolate
During our second day in Lancaster we went to Sturgis Pretzels. There was a tour, where you got to make a play-dough pretzels and learn about the history of the factory and the pretzels. There was also a little gift shop with (of course) pretzels, pretzel samples, pretzel merchandise and other stuff. I'll just let you learn the rest.
After that we went to the Wilbur Chocolate factory. There was no tour which I thought was kind of disappointing. We didn't really learn anything about the factory and it just seemed like a teeny chocolate store. We got a bag of chocolate Buds which were kind of like Hershey's kisses and a bag of sour gummy worms. We also watched a video that they were showing in the middle of the store about making chocolate.
The food factories in Lancaster are great! Quick Lancaster tip given by the Queen of Tarts:
Never say Lan-caster. Always say Lanc aster! (Fastishly but not really fast) It makes you sound like a local. (But sounding like a tourist isn't always that bad, is it?) The second picture is of Lucy.

Wow - you went to Sturgis Pretzels. Ever since they stopped carrying them locally I've had to buy them by the case online. I hope you've stuffed your trunk with them.
woops!
Looks like a fabulous trip! I hope you come out to do the west coast next summer. We would love to see you.
