LANCASTER COUNTY

This is a beautiful County...... and home of the Amish people. We saw and experienced their way of life by visiting an Amish village. They have a busy and fruitful life without using many of the modern day conveniences.
We had a dinner eatinf food that they would have and it was good, friend chicken glazed ham corn and potatoes with shoe fly pie and cream. The products they make are sold to the public, by a thrird party as they dont deal direct to the "outside" world but they do live in the normal community, they dont have any cars or bikes but they use tractors but they must have metal wheels.
Our hotel in Lancaster had a 4 poster bed about 3 feet high, rocking chair and a nice country setting.
Seeing the Amish families in their horse and buggies with little kids in the back was wonderful.
We had to leave after anan hour at a wonderful craft and food market in Intercourse. (clothes getting tighter)... food hal lots of free tastings.

Teh bus ride through the farmland and the town of Intercourse was one the best rural scenes imaginable... we passed many Amish people travelling in their horse and buggies.
