We went on a trip.

And that Moravian village was fun! There were many buildings, really big ones & really small ones. Some were used as stores: a book store, a toy store, gift stores, and other things that we couldn’t go into because we didn’t pay. There was a bakery, too, & it smelled like fresh baked cinnamon rolls! Ahhhh!

Yummy!

Next to the bookstore there were some flower bushes that were blooming. They were mostly buds, but here are the flowers:

Isn’t that pretty? and here’s the one next to it:

I don’t know if they are winter blooming flowers, or if they thought it was Spring, already. Does anybody know what they are? The buildings that weren’t stores, were private residences. And one was for sale!

It has a W on the wall in bricks:

This is just a really big building. I forgot what it was.

There was a college right there, too.

Salem College.

This next one is Linnea in a tree at the graveyard. I didn’t get a picture of the actual graves, though. The Moravians buried their people in what they called “choirs”: single men, single women, married men, and married women. Within the choirs, I think they were buried in the order they died in. Anyway, here’s Linnea:

Also, everywhere we went, there were Moravian stars. They are 26-pointed stars that represent the advent. And they were everywhere! I should have gotten a picture of one.
And Churchills, add anything I left out or correct anything I got wrong.
