Gunder, Spillville and St. Olaf, Iowa




We had three buffets the previous day - breakfast at the hotel, lunch in Dyersville and dinner at Breitbach's - time to go for the menu (simple yet appealing) approach. Breakfast easily accommodated at the Elkader B and B - delicious French Toast - on toward Gunder for the incredible "gunderburger" experience at the Iris Shanti. The owner Kevin Walsh was a robust and outgoing man who immediately entered into Irish bantering about what ever the Irish from Boston banter about....a delight.....except for the introverts amongst us.

On to Spillville to visit the Bily Clocks Museum.
No pictures due to the "they might copy the clocks from the photos"policy....

A fine finish at the end of the day after wine and artichoke dip at the Elkader B and B was a dinner trip to St. Olaf for a Pork Tender Loin.

A "No Buffet Day" sucessfully completed with a fine 1/2 tenderloin sandwich.
