A Little Bit Amish Country

When in Pennsylvania do as the locals do, go see the Amish country.  The tour bus ride around to many of the farms was great along with the background history.  Green blinds are Amish homes she said as we wondered how to determine which homes were theirs.  No vehicles in the driveways was another clue.   

A real Amish wagon ride was $10, so we opted for photos of them coming and going about town.  




 We stopped at a few farms with gift shops to browse the handmade wares and munch on baked goods. 

 Farmers in the field guiding the discs with between five and eight head of horses amazed us as we watched their straight rows and skilled talents. My grandfather used two horses on his little five acres until the mid 60's. 
Children riding bike/scooters (a combination of the two) waving and smiling at us as they zipped along the roads coming from school.
